The background to this research is that frequent medical screening of the general population for melanoma is not feasible. The real challenge of this project is to develop an automatic process for detecting any potential melanoma. To this end, the project aims to design an algorithm to build a novel diagnostic aid that makes use of the similarity and disparity of pigmented lesions in the same patient. To achieve this, we need to obtain and structure a large database of images grouping all pigmented lesions per patient according to their similarities as perceived by dermatologists.
