- Resumen
This thesis investigates the problem of developing new computer vision techniques for early detection of skin cancer. The first part of this work presents a novel methodology to correct color reproduction in dermatological images when different cameras and/or dermoscopes are used. Next, the problem of automatic full body mapping is addressed by proposing a mosaicing method based on an on-the-shelf digital compact camera and a set of markers. This method increases the possibilities of total body photography by taking the low-resolution images of a whole body exploration and automatically combining them into a high-resolution photomosaic. The third contribution of this work consists of the development of a full body scanner for acquiring cutaneous images. On one hand, the scanner reduces the long time-consuming examinations done in dermoscopy explorations, and on the other hand, it increases the resolution of total body photography systems.
