A simple weighted thresholding method for the segmentation of pigmented skin lesions in macroscopic images
作者：
Highlights：
• A simple and yet effective segmentation method for skin lesions is proposed.
• A novel intensity map helps to discriminate lesions from background skin.
• A multiple thresholding scheme helps to balance the contribution of the classes.
• Segmentation relies on a modified version of Otsu's functional.
• The proposed method may be used in clinical settings as part of CAD system.
