Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of image recognition, and in particular to a method for acquiring classification features of skin tumors. Background Art

[0002] Skin tumors are common dermatological disorders involving cell proliferation in the skin. These neoplasms, which arise within or beneath the skin, vary widely and are clinically categorized as either benign or malignant. Malignant tumors can proliferate, metastasize, and become life-threatening, often referred to as skin cancer. The diagnosis of skin tumors is a systematic, multi-step process that requires comprehensive analysis of the patient's medical history, physical examination, and ancillary test results to arrive at an accurate diagnosis and develop an effective treatment plan. Identifying key features through multiple tests is crucial for skin tumor classification, but this process is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0003] Currently, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) is used to classify skin tumors by detecting differences in the absorption and scattering properties of tumor tissue for near-infrared light (700-2500 nm), revealing its biochemical composition (such as hemoglobin, water content, and lipids) and structural characteristics. The main steps include data acquisition, preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification. Preprocessing primarily includes denoising, baseline correction, and normalization. Feature extraction methods include feature dimensionality reduction, wavelength selection, and optical parameter extraction. Classification utilizes traditional machine learning models such as support vector machines (SVMs) and random forest models.

[0004] Ultrasound image classification of skin tumors relies on the use of high-frequency ultrasound (20-100 MHz) to reveal the morphological characteristics of skin tumors (boundaries, internal echoes, blood flow signals, etc.). The steps include image preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification. Image preprocessing includes denoising, contrast enhancement, and tumor region of interest (ROI) segmentation. Feature extraction includes morphological features, texture features, and deep learning features. Classification models primarily use traditional methods, such as support vector machines (SVMs) or radio frequency (RF) algorithms combined with handcrafted features.

[0005] The above existing methods require manual key feature comparison and fusion after obtaining the near-infrared spectrum classification results and the ultrasound image classification results. In this process, the functional information of the near-infrared spectrum and the structural information of the ultrasound image need to be considered, and the efficiency of manual comparison and fusion is low.

MS R is the mean square between groups of the screening feature set, MS W is the within-group mean square of the screening feature set, k is the number of scoring criteria, and ICC is the range of consistency analysis results.

[0030] Set the ICC threshold for the consistency analysis results, for example, T = 0.75 ± 0.05.
