Application of computational intelligence techniques helps physicians as well as dermatologists in faster data process to give better and more reliable diagnoses. The whole system is categorized as: Pre-processing the lesion image to enhance its readability, Segmentation of the Lesion from skin, Feature extraction, selection, and finally the identification of dermoscopic images. Pros and cons of various methods are focused to provide a help for the researchers starting work in automated lesion detection system. Numerous computerized diagnostic systems have been reported in which different border detection, feature extraction, selection, and classification algorithms are used. The aim of this review is to summarize and compare advanced dermoscopic algorithms used for the classification of skin lesions and discuss important issues affecting the success of classification. This paper will be a guide that represents a comprehensive guideline for selecting suitable algorithms needed for different steps of automatic diagnostic procedure for ensuring timely diagnosis of skin cancer.

In this paper, a methodological approach to the segmentation of tumours skin lesions in dermoscopy images is presented. Melanoma is the most malignant skin tumor, growing in melanocytes, the cells responsible for pigmentation. This type of cancer is nowadays increasing rapidly, its related mortality rate increases by more modest and inversely proportional to the thickness of the tumor. This rate can be decreased by an earlier detection and better prevention. In dermatoscopic images, the segmentation is essential to characterize the information shape of the lesion and also to locate the tumor for analysis. In this domain, we have evaluated several techniques for the segmentation of dermatoscopic images. All these methods do not exactly separate the lesion from the background. In this work a fast approach in border detection of dermoscopy pigmented skin lesions images based on the region growing algorithm is presented. This method is tested on a set of 60 dermoscopy images. The obtained results show that the presented method achieves both fast and accurate border detection.
