Nail Color and Texture Analysis for Disease Detection
Vipra Sharma, Manoj Kumar Ramaiya · International Journal of Bio-Science and Bio-Technology · 2015
In this paper we are elaborating the concept of disease detection in the human body using the nail image of human fingers and analyzing the data from the image on the basis of nail color and texture. Fingernail has to be detected from the entire hand region using distribution density of the nail color pixels on the surface of nail. The methodology for creating a finger nail detection system involves removing the skin area from shiny/glossy nail portion; this is known as image segmentation concept that separates the specific object. Image segmentation is the method of dividing the image pixels into homogenous region.
