Abstract: Early diagnosis is the most reliable solution for an effective treatment of melanoma. There is an ongoing research effort to develop computer aided imaging tools and functional content-based image retrieval systems as diagnostic support to dermatologists. Following this spirit, a Topic Map based management and retrieval system for melanoma images has been developed. Currently, this research work focuses on developing ‘ABCD ’ calculation program for Automated Melanoma Detection and employing it in the TM-based system. This paper introduces the design and methodology towards this direction.
