Claim 8:
9. A computerized method for determining severity of a skin disease in a subject, comprising:
acquiring at least one test image of a subject;
segmenting at least one test image into a set of image regions using a Felzenszwalb segmentation algorithm;
inputting the set of image regions to a trained convolutional neural network;
with the trained neural network, classifying each region of the set of image regions as (a) lesion regions, (b) non-lesion body regions, or (c) non-body regions;
calculating a percentage of body surface area (BSA) covered by lesions by using the combined areas of the lesion regions and the combined areas of the lesion regions and non-lesion body regions.
