Dermatological images are typically diagnosed based on visual analysis of the skin lesion acquired using a dermoscope. However, the final quality of the acquired image is highly dependent on the illumination conditions during the acquisition phase. This variability in the light source can affect the dermatologist's diagnosis and decrease the accuracy of computer-aided diagnosis systems. Color constancy algorithms have proven to be a powerful tool to address this issue by allowing the standardization of the image illumination source, but the most commonly used algorithms still present some inherent limitations due to assumptions made on the original image. In this work, we propose a novel Dermatological Color Constancy Generative Adversarial Network (DermoCC-GAN) algorithm to overcome the current limitations by formulating the color constancy task as an image-to-image translation problem.

Abstract
Dermatological images are typically diagnosed based on visual analysis of the skin lesion acquired using a dermoscope. However, the final quality of the acquired image is highly dependent on the illumination conditions during the acquisition phase. This variability in the light source can affect the dermatologist's diagnosis and decrease the accuracy of computer-aided diagnosis systems. Color constancy algorithms have proven to be a powerful tool to address this issue by allowing the standardization of the image illumination source, but the most commonly used algorithms still present some inherent limitations due to assumptions made on the original image. In this work, we propose a novel Dermatological Color Constancy Generative Adversarial Network (DermoCC-GAN) algorithm to overcome the current limitations by formulating the color constancy task as an image-to-image translation problem.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
