Digital image processing techniques for pre-diagnosis of psoriasis skin diseases / Rozita Jailani
This research involves the analysis of psoriasis skin lesions images. The images are captured using digital camera under controlled conditions. These images were collected from psoriasis patients at Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (HUKM) over five months starting from July 2002. The images i...
