Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM: Skin lesions are commonly diagnosed and classified using dermoscopic images. There are many artifacts visible in dermoscopic images, including hair strands, noise, bubbles, blood vessels, poor illumination, and moles. These artifacts can obscure crucial information about lesions, which limits the ability to diagnose lesions automatically. This study investigated how hair and noise artifacts in lesion images affect classifier performance and how they can be removed to improve diagnostic accuracy.
