Abstract

We propose a method for digital hair removal from dermoscopic images that involves a new scheme for the acquisition of dermoscopic images to uncover hidden information by employing image fusion of multiple images of lesions. Classical approaches for the removal of hair from dermoscopic images are usually based on interpolation, pattern propagation or machine learning. These replace the hair pixels with calculated data aiming to reduce the impairment of the medical diagnostics. While these approaches are well established, the problem of information loss is not addressed. We show that our approach can lead to improved skin lesion assessment in dermoscopy.
