Abstract

In this paper, a diagnosis support system for mucous membrane diseases in oral cavity, in which a shape of vitiligo is judged as lacy or not-lacy from an intraoral image, is proposed. Intraoral images are not unstandardized, and lighting conditions or angles are variant. To extract vitiligo area from such images, we employ dynamic threshold method. SIFT and bag of keypoints are used in feature extraction, and classification is achieved by SVM. From the simulation, in which the shape of vitiligo is classified to lacy or not-lacy classes, the effectiveness of the proposed system was verified.
