Abstract
A method for image analysis comprises receiving one or more images of a plurality of lesions captured from a body of a person, extracting one or more features of the plurality of lesions from the one or more images, analyzing the extracted one or more features, wherein the analyzing comprises determining a distance between at least two lesions with respect to the extracted one or more features, and determining whether any of the plurality of lesions is an outlier based on the analyzing.
Claims20
A method for image analysis, comprising:
- receiving one or more images of a plurality of lesions captured from a body of a person;
- extracting one or more features of the plurality of lesions from the one or more images;
- analyzing the extracted one or more features;
- wherein the analyzing comprises determining a distance between at least two lesions with respect to the extracted one or more features;
- and
- determining whether any of the plurality of lesions is an outlier based on the analyzing;
- wherein the method is performed by at least one computer system comprising at least one memory and at least one processor coupled to the memory.
A system for image analysis, comprising:
- a memory and at least one processor coupled to the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- receive one or more images of a plurality of lesions captured from a body of a person;
- extract one or more features of the plurality of lesions from the one or more images;
- analyze the extracted one or more features;
- wherein the analyzing comprises determining a distance between at least two lesions with respect to the extracted one or more features;
- and
- determine whether any of the plurality of lesions is an outlier based on the analyzing.
A computer program product for image analysis, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- receiving one or more images of a plurality of lesions captured from a body of a person;
- extracting one or more features of the plurality of lesions from the one or more images;
- analyzing the extracted one or more features;
- wherein the analyzing comprises determining a distance between at least two lesions with respect to the extracted one or more features;
- and
- determining whether any of the plurality of lesions is an outlier based on the analyzing.
