[/b]I am in a starting phase of project. I want preprocessing matlab code for dermoscopic images.[b]
Inpainting, a technique originally used to restore film and photographs, is used to disocclude hair from
dermascopic images of skin lesions. The technique is compared to the conventional software DullRazor, which
uses linear interpolation to perform disocclusion. Comparison was performed by simulating occluding hair on a
dermascopic image, applying DullRazor and inpainting and calculating the error induced. Inpainting is found
to perform approximately 33% better than DullRazor’s linear interpolation, and is more stable under heavy
occlusion. The results are also compared to published results from two other alternatives: auto-regressive (AR)
model signal extrapolation and band-limited (BL) signal interpolation.
