Abstract
The paper considers the application of an algorithm based on a morphological projector for determining structural differences for comparing dermoscopic images. This will allow to identify changes that have occurred in skin lesions over time, for a more accurate diagnosis of their malignancy. The proposed algorithm makes it possible to detect differences in images even if there is a significant difference in the brightness and color levels of the compared images, and also ignores small insignificant details, such as noise, dermatoscope optics marks, hair, etc. A method for correcting the desynchronization of images using the structural similarity index as a similarity metric, and the sinecosine algorithm as an optimization algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithms were tested on dermatoscopic images and the possibility of their application was demonstrated.
