Detection of Eczema DISEASE by using Image Processing

Abstract

Because very bad weather in Iraq like elevated temperature,Smokes, dust, also increase depopulation to bad environment and increase thenumber of displaced, diseases have increased significantly includingdermatological diseases and the most common types is eczema as a result of badnutrition, bacteria, soils, bad food, and others factors. Because of all theseenvironmental factors, physiological, chemical factors and others factors,became very necessary to detect skin diseases specially eczema and treated itto avoid aggravation the disease with the help of biomedical engineers, withless cost, and to prevent disease from spreading when at that it will bedifficult and take long time to be treated.. So the aim of research is take animage to the infection area then process this image by MATLAB in many ways toobtain an image that can help the doctors in their work to recognize the eczemaand the rate of infection andmake it easy to improve and safe people life. Three lesioned layers  are selected in this study, face layer, handlayer and foot layer, the study showed that the foot layer  is more comfortable for detection the eczemain this approach technique.
