Application of Fourier Transforms in Classification of Medical Images

Abstract

Selected methods of image processing have been applied to expert system supporting the process of identifying medical images. Fourier transform is well known tool for many applications in the processing of images in many fields of science and technology, also in medicine. In this case the image processing consists in spatial frequencies analysis of Fourier transforms of medical images. Skin lesions are studied on the base of their images and it seems that Fourier transformation is the right toll for such research. The distributions of selected colors in Fourier transform images are studied. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014.
