Abstract

We present a novel technique for melanocytic lesion segmentation, based on one-dimensional Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in colour space. Our technique is simple and extremely fast, segmenting highresolution images in a fraction of a second even with the modest computational resources available on a cell phone – an improvement of an order of magnitude or more over state-of-the-art techniques. Our technique is also extremely accurate: very experienced dermatologists disagree with its segmentations less than they disagree with the segmentations of all state-of-the-art techniques we tested, and in fact less than they disagree with the segmentations of dermatologists of moderate experience.
