Automatic Detection of Ringworm using Local Binary Pattern (LBP)
Abstract
In this paper we present a novel approach for automatic recognition of ring worm skin disease based on LBP (Local Binary Pattern) feature extracted from the affected skin images. The proposed method is evaluated by extensive experiments on the skin images collected from internet. The dataset is tested using three different classifiers i.e. Bayesian, MLP and SVM. Experimental results show that the proposed methodology efficiently discriminates between a ring worm skin and a normal skin. It is a low cost technique and does not require any special imaging devices.
