This paper presents a semi-supervised algorithm to automatically segment scaling in 2D images of psoriasis-affected skin. The algorithm first enhances the contrast between scaling and erythema using color features. It then extracts texture features using Gabor filters to distinguish scaling from normal skin. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier is trained using pixels labeled as scaling or skin by a semi-supervised clustering algorithm applied directly to the input image. This improves resilience to variations in lighting and skin type. The SVM output is smoothed using a Markov random field to produce the final scaling segmentation. Experiments show the algorithm reliably segments scaling under different lighting conditions, skin types and psoriasis types.
