Abstract
Skin lesions are an important health issue. Various techniques are applied to segment the skin lesion area from images. This chapter presents a skin lesion segmentation approach based on the elitist-Jaya optimization algorithm. The proposed method consists of two stages: image preprocessing and edge detection. The experimental sample consists of a set of 320 images from the skin lesion dataset. Three performance metrics are applied, namely accuracy, precision, and recall, to evaluate ...
