Comparison of automatically detected lesions with dermatologist circumscribed lesions for each body site.
<p>Each point represents the total count for each method from one clinical photograph in the severe photodamage group. Labelled points correspond to photographs shown. White outlines are automatically detected regions, blue/green outlines are dermatologist annotations. A) Automatically counted lesions on each face photograph compared with dermatologist count, and number of co-localized lesions. B) Dermatologist second count on faces compared with first count, and number of co-localized lesions. C-D) Example of automated output compared with dermatologist on two foreheads. E) Automatically counted lesions on each arm photograph compared with dermatologist count, and number of co-localized lesions. F) Dermatologist second count on arms compared with first count, and number of co-localized lesions. G-H) Example of automated output compared with dermatologist annotation on forearm and hand.

Overview of analysis steps in automated actinic keratosis detection, as applied to the dorsum of hand with the contrast adjusted for visualization.
<p>A) Input image. B) YCbCr transform of input image. C) Mean of Cb and Cr channels shows distinct hotspots for erythema. D) Guided filtering to remove unneeded texture. E) Distinct peaks extracted by morphological analysis. F) Hysteresis thresholding to identify erythematic areas. G) Boundaries of automatically detected lesions (white) compared with the dermatologist’s annotations (blue).

Confusion between automated/dermatologist assessment and the first and second dermatologist assessments on the face and arms.

Impact of different parameters on automatically identified actinic keratosis lesions.
<p>A-C) The texture regularization parameter ϵ controls how smooth the detected lesions boundaries are. D-F) The radius of the disc used in morphological opening by reconstruction controls the size of detected lesions. G-I) The high hysteresis threshold controls whether or not a potential lesion is included based on the maximum erythema intensity.
