  • Publication number: 20140036054
    Abstract: Provided herein are portable imaging systems, for example, a digital processor-implemented system for the identification and/or classification of an object of interest on a body, such as a human or plant body. The systems comprise a hand-held imaging device, such as a smart device, and a library of algorithms or modules that can be implemented thereon to process the imaged object, extract representative features therefrom and classify the object based on the representative features. Also provided are methods for the identifying or classifying an object of interest on a body that utilize the algorithms and an automated portable system configured to implement the same.

  • Patent number: 8213695
    Abstract: The present invention provides devices for screening the skin of an individual in real time using a region-fusion based segmentation with narrow band graph partitioning algorithm to analyze and classify a region of interest of the skin as benign or malignant. Also, provided is a method for screening the skin of an individual using the devices described herein. In addition the present invention provides a digital processor-implemented system for classifying a region of interest on the skin and a processor readable medium having processor-executable instructions to perform skin cancer detection.
