Color feature equations.
| Color Features | Equations |
|---|---|
| Absolute RGB | Absolute R = Red Average over mask |
| Absolute G = Green Average over maskE* | |
| Absolute B = Blue Average over maskE*, # | |
| Relative RGB | Relative R = Absolute R - Skin R |
| Relative G = Absolute G - Skin GE* | |
| Relative B = Absolute G - Skin B | |
| RGB Chromaticity | R Chromaticity = R/(R+G+B)# |
| G Chromaticity = G/(R+G+B) | |
| B Chromaticity = B/(R+G+B) | |
| Relative RGB Chromaticity | Relative R Chromaticity = Relative R/Relative(R+G+B) |
| Relative G Chromaticity = Relative G/Relative(R+G+B)# | |
| Relative B Chromaticity = Relative B/Relative(R+G+B) | |
| RGB Variance | R Variance = Σ(R- total_R)2 |
| G Variance = Σ(G- total_G)2 | |
| B Variance = Σ(B- total_B)2 E*, # | |
| Relative Color Ratios | Relative B/Relative R |
| Relative B/Relative G | |
| Relative G/Relative R | |
| Converting RGB Color Plane to XYZ Color Plane | R to X = (R*0.49 + G*0.31 + B*0.20)/0.17697E* |
| G to Y = (R*0.17697 + G*0.81240 + B*0.01063)/0.17697 | |
| B to Z = (R*0.0 + G*0.01 + B*0.99)/0.17697# |
Features in the final logistic regression model for BCC identification are marked by an emboldened “E*”, indicating their retention within the best-fit ellipse circumscribing the B-GO.
“#” indicates the final model of the expanded B-GO mask
