Detailed segmentation of pigmented skin lesions is an important requirement in computer
aided applications for melanoma assessment. In particular, accurate segmentation is
necessary for image-guided evaluation of skin lesions characteristics. In this paper, we
present a new approach of histogram thresholding for detailed segmentation of skin lesions
based on histogram analysis of the saturation color component in the hue-saturation-value
(HSV) color space. The proposed technique is specifically developed with the aim to handle …
