• Authors: Arnab Banerjee, Nibaran Das, Mita Nasipuri
• Abstract summary: We propose an automatic technique to detect three popular skin diseases- Leprosy, Tinea versicolor and Vitiligo from the images of skin lesions. The proposed technique involves Weber local descriptor and Local binary pattern to represent texture pattern of the affected skin regions.

• Abstract: In all developing and developed countries in the world, skin diseases are becoming a very frequent health problem for the humans of all age groups. Skin problems affect mental health, develop addiction to alcohol and drugs and sometimes causes social isolation. Considering the importance, we propose an automatic technique to detect three popular skin diseases- Leprosy, Tinea versicolor and Vitiligofrom the images of skin lesions. The proposed technique involves Weber local descriptor and Local binary pattern to represent texture pattern of the affected skin regions. This ensemble technique achieved 91.38% accuracy using multi-level support vector machine classifier, where features are extracted from different regions that are based on center of gravity. We have also applied some popular deep learn-ing networks such as MobileNet, ResNet_152, GoogLeNet,DenseNet_121, and ResNet_101. We get 89% accuracy using ResNet_101. The ensemble approach clearly outperform all of the used deep learning networks. This imaging tool will be useful for early skin disease screening.

  Africa faces a huge shortage of dermatologists, with less than one per million people. This is in stark contrast to the high demand for dermatologic care, with 80% of the paediatric population suffering from largely untreated skin conditions. The PASSION project aims to address this issue by collecting images of skin diseases in Sub-Saharan countries with the aim of open-sourcing this data.
