Abstract:
Provided herein are digital-implemented methods for performing simultaneous analyses on an object on the skin of an animal body, for example, a human, to classify the object as a skin cancer, an ulcer or neither. The analyses are performed simultaneously on a hand-held imaging device.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 3 , wherein the processor executable step of segmenting comprises:\n determining an initial contour of the imaged object; classifying pixels as contained within the initial contour as foreground, as contained without the initial contour as background or as remaining pixels if they are not classified as foreground pixels or background pixels; and applying a supervised classifier to the remaining pixels for classification as foreground or background.
