In this paper, we propose and evaluate six methods for the segmentation of skin lesions in
dermoscopic images. This set includes some state of the art techniques which have been
successfully used in many medical imaging problems (gradient vector flow (GVF) and the
level set method of Chan et al.[(C-LS)]. It also includes a set of methods developed by the
authors which were tailored to this particular application (adaptive thresholding (AT),
adaptive snake (AS), EM level set (EM-LS), and fuzzy-based split-and-merge algorithm …
