Image Fusion based Removal of Color Artifacts for the Enhancement of Dermoscopy Images

In this paper, the color artifacts that typically occur in dermoscopy images are removed using the image fusion-based color correction method. Two color-corrected versions of the original image are blended using the weight-based image fusion techniques. The contrast of the skin lesion is also enhanced to distinguish the affected parts from the normal skin. The purpose of the work is to enhance the positive impact on the further detection of melanoma type of skin disease.
