The aim of this study is to develop and evaluate a new set of color features and their performance on the classification of
skin lesions. The proposed system introduces new features based on 2-dimensional color histograms, an automated
segmentation method using a fusion of thresholding methods, classification procedures and is designed to be used by
dermatologists as a complete integrated dermatological analysis tool to improve the rate of correct diagnosis above 90%.
Simulations are implemented to show the measured features as well as classification results. The outcomes showed that
the CAD model discussed in this paper has an improved classification performance and is an objective diagnostic tool
that can be used in medical practice.
