Justification of the Title
The objective of the research is to find better and more efficient ways to automatically detect early malignant melanoma using digital image processing techniques.
This research focuses on the preprocessing stage, the analysis of colour variegation, border irregularity and asymmetry of the tumor.
The ultimate goal is to ease the doctor's role in the detection of early malignant melanoma by providing better and more reliable results, so that more patients can be correctly diagnosed.
Introduction
Motivation towards Image Processing:
-Improvement of pictorial information for human perception
How can an image/video be made more aesthetically pleasing.
How can an image/video be enhanced to facilitate extraction of useful information.
Skin Cancer- Treatment Methods
The Treatment Includes:
surgical removal of the tumor,
adjuvant treatment,
chemo and immunotherapy,
or radiation therapy.
The chance of a cure is greatest when the tumor is discovered while it is still small and thin, and can be entirely removed surgically.
