Abstract-we introduce a measurement sysiem on the color of skin diseases, then The HSV color space has been
corrected to depict skin color alteration. At last, we analyzed three indexes fhmugh some clinical cases.
Introduction
In dermatology, the color of skin, color distribution and the shape of skin lesions could convey
important diagnostic information. With the quick development on computer technology and CCD
technology in recent years, it has became a major direction to apply the digital imaging technology in
skin diseased diagnosis. 11-31
In the paper, we introduced an improved digital imaging measurement system on skin diseases
dignosis Then basing on analysis of a large amount of clinical cases on skin diseases, we corrected the
HSV color space in order to analyze characteristics of the color on disease skin. On the end, we
examined the meaning of three indexes through analysis of some cases.
the measurement system
The measurement system consists of the illumination part, the image taking part and the data
analyzing part. Proper illumination is important to acquire high quality and reproducible images.
Taking all considerations of the temperature of light, spatial homogeneity of light source and sensitivity
of human skin to the temperature, we chose 150w halogen light as the source. We also applied an
annular light diffuser fit around the camera to guarantee good spatial homogeneity of the light field.
Furthermore, an infrared ray filter is added in light source in order to reduce heat of light on the skin. In
addition, we used an aluminum cylinder with black inboard to minimize interference of stray light
when imaging. We use Sony F717 camera as the image taking part. We alsn wrote software to
transform RGB color space into HSV color space and computed indexes of the specific area. The
whole system is installed on an adjustable multi-direction rack for easily handle as shown in the
figurel.

than 1; minus those values by I. Through this way, we can combine those two separate red areas which
hue values approximately distribute from 0-and 0.3 in new corrected hsv color space. As a result, the
computed value of hue stays coherent to Doctor’s observation and judgment.
