Summary: This book provides comprehensive coverage on the development of computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) systems employing image processing and machine learning tools for improved, uniform evaluation and diagnosis (avoiding subjective judgment) of skin disorders. The methods and tools are described in a general way so that these tools can be applied not only for skin diseases but also for a wide range of analogous problems in the domain of biomedical systems. Moreover, quantification of clinically relevant information that can associate the findings of physicians/experts is the most challenging task of any CAD system.

Key Features:

• Demonstrates extensive calculations for illustrating the theoretical analysis of advanced image processing and machine learning techniques.
• Provides a comprehensive coverage on the development of various signal processing tools for the extraction of statistical and clinically correlated features from skin lesion images.
• Describes image processing and machine learning techniques for improved uniform evaluation and diagnosis of skin disorders.

Target Audience: Researchers, professionals, and students in the field of biomedical engineering, computer science, and dermatology will find this book valuable for understanding the development and application of CAD systems for skin diseases.

Why This Book Matters: This book is essential for those looking to advance the field of computer-aided diagnostics in skin diseases. It provides a step-by-step guide for developing CAD systems, making it an invaluable resource for both beginners and experienced professionals.
