In acne treatment, it is important to accurately evaluate the severity of Acne. The acne should be classified into several skin lesions including comedo, reddish papule, pustule, and scar. However, in some cases, a visual detection from RGB image maybe difficult for the proper evaluation of acne skin lesions. This paper proposes an extraction method using the spectral information of the various type of acne skin lesions calculated from the multispectral images (MSI) of the lesions. In the experiment, we showed the possibility of classifying acne lesion types by applying a combination of several linear discriminant functions (LDF's).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
