Figure 1From: A visual model approach to extract regions of interest in microscopical images of basal cell carcinomaThe proposed model The proposed model fuses the bottom-up and top-down information. Firstly, assigning a level of conspicuity based in a set of early characteristics, secondly, it gather together this information into simple shapes, thirdly, by regulating the saliency of each shape by the texture information as it is reported a relevant characteristic to diagnosis of cancer. Finally, our method uses the resulting saliency map to look for carcinoma structures using a database and a similarity measure over its neighborhood.Back to article page
