Feature Based Skin Disease Estimation Using Image Processing for Teledermatology

Teledermatology using image processing is a method of analyzing and detecting skin-diseases merely from their images so that people living in remote areas or challenged with immobility can easily access cure for such skin problems. This paper presents a series of image processing techniques to enhance the quality and extract the features of skin disease images so as to make the affected area easy to perceive with the naked eye and detect the disease from its image by virtue of their texture values computed with statistical approach and histogram analysis. Multiple measures of improvising and analyzing an image of skin disease received from the patient have been proposed so that the dermatologist can easily identify and precisely provide correct treatment.
