2018, Biomedical Signal Processing and ControlCitation Excerpt :Color features are mainly calculated predicated on the statistical characteristics quantifications on RGB planes and relative color spaces such as HSV and CIE L*u*v which have the property of being invariants to illumination intensity and also allow decoupling of chrominance and luminance. It includes the standard deviation of RGB channels [172], mean reflectance by lesion in the visible and near infrared region [161], relative chromaticity [139], KL transformation for extraction of features that have immensely colossal discriminant power [142], chromatic differences [173], average RGB values [159], and most proximate neighbor approach [174]. Few researchers have exploited color spaces such as JCh [175], CIEXYZ [176], HVC [177], CMY [178], YUV [178] to obtain better lesion to skin discrimination capability.

2008, Surgical Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Information regarding the significance of change in shape and size of pigmented lesions should be given, and instruction on the ABCD(E) rules may be useful [4,5,67]. It should be noted, however, that these criteria do not apply to all melanomas because a considerable fraction of early melanomas have a diameter less than 6 mm [68]. Moreover, because some CMM tumors apparently arise de novo and not by progression of a precursor lesion, the individuals must also be informed to be watchful regarding novel skin lesions [66].
