Abstract

Dermoscopy image retrieval can assist dermatologists to make a diagnosis by reference to confirmed cases, which can improve the accuracy of the diagnosis result. This paper proposed a retrieve method based on the combination of color and texture. The proposed method uses the color moments and Gabor wavelet to extract features and implements retrieval function by SKLSH hash code. In the experiments stage, we retrieve dermoscopy images including 4 kinds of skin diseases from the datasets which are pigmented nevus, seborrheic keratosis, psoriasis and eczema. Besides, we compared our methods with other color and texture features, as well as other dermoscopy image retrieval method, and the results show that our method obtains the best retrieval result.
