Abstract

A method of operation of a compute system includes: qualifying a patient image for analyzing a suspected skin condition; detecting a skin area in the patient image; segmenting the skin area into a segmented image including the suspected skin condition; cropping the segmented image to form a cropped image including the suspected skin condition at a center of the cropped image; analyzing the suspected skin condition to identify a skin disease result and a disease subclass from the cropped image; and assembling a disease identification display including the patient image, a skin disease indication, an image match score, and the disease subclass for displaying on a device.

Claims (42)

1. A method of operation of a compute system comprising:

qualifying a patient image for analyzing for a suspected skin condition;

detecting a skin area in the patient image;

segmenting the skin area into a segmented image including the suspected skin condition;

cropping the segmented image to form a cropped image including the suspected skin condition at a center of the cropped image;

analyzing the suspected skin condition to identify a skin disease result and a disease subclass from the cropped image;

calculating an image score for each of the skin disease result and the disease subclass identified in the patient image; and

assembling a disease identification display including the patient image, a skin disease indication, the image match score, and the disease subclass for displaying on a device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein qualifying the patient image includes identifying the skin area to be greater than 20% of the patient image.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein qualifying the patient image includes verifying a blurry metric and a bad luminosity metric.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising generating a skin disease identification list of the skin disease result and a subclass list including one or more of the disease subclass.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein analyzing the suspected skin condition includes performing a disease classification for generating a skin disease diagnosis.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein assembling the disease identification display includes generating a skin disease identification list with a subclass list of the disease subclass.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising generating a retake image message for the patient image with less than 20% of the skin area, has a blurry metric greater than a blurry threshold, with a luminosity metric greater than a luminosity threshold, or a combination thereof.

8. A compute system comprising:

a control circuit, including a processor, configured to:

qualify a patient image to analyze for a suspected skin condition;

detect a skin area in the patient image;

segment the skin area into a segmented image including the suspected skin condition;

crop the segmented image to form a cropped image including the suspected skin condition at a center of the cropped image;

analyze the suspected skin condition to identify a skin disease result and a disease subclass from the cropped image;

calculate an image score for each of the skin disease result and the disease subclass identified in the patient image; and

a communication circuit, coupled to the control circuit, configured to assemble a disease identification display including the patient image, a skin disease indication, the image match score, and the disease subclass for displaying on a device.

9. The system as claimed in claim 8 wherein the control circuit is further configured to qualify a patient image including identify the skin area to be greater than 20% of the patient image.

10. The system as claimed in claim 8 wherein the control circuit is further configured to qualify a patient image including compare a blurry metric to a blurry threshold and a bad luminosity metric to a luminosity threshold.

11. The system as claimed in claim 8 wherein the control circuit is further configured to generating a skin disease identification list of the skin disease result and a subclass list that includes one or more of the disease subclass.

12. The system as claimed in claim 8 wherein the control circuit is further configured to analyze the suspected skin condition including perform a disease classification to generate a skin disease diagnosis.

13. The system as claimed in claim 8 wherein the control circuit is further configured to assemble the disease identification display including generate a skin disease identification list with a subclass list of the disease subclass.

14. The system as claimed in claim 8 wherein the control circuit is further configured to generate a retake image message for the patient image with less than 20% of the skin area, has a blurry metric greater than a blurry threshold, with a luminosity metric greater than a luminosity threshold, or a combination thereof.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions for a compute system comprising:

qualifying a patient image for analyzing a suspected skin condition;

detecting a skin area in the patient image;

segmenting the skin area into a segmented image including the suspected skin condition;

cropping the segmented image to form a cropped image including the suspected skin condition at a center of the cropped image;

analyzing the suspected skin condition to identify a skin disease result and a disease subclass;

calculating an image score for each of the skin disease result and the disease subclass identified in the patient image; and

assembling a disease identification display including the patient image, a skin disease indication, the image match score, and the disease subclass for displaying on a device.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 wherein qualifying the patient image includes identifying the skin area to be greater than 20% of the patient image.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 wherein qualifying the patient image includes comparing a blurry metric to a blurry threshold and a bad luminosity metric to a luminosity threshold.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 further comprising generating a skin disease identification list of the skin disease result and a subclass list including one or more of the disease subclass.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 wherein analyzing the suspected skin condition includes performing a disease classification for generating a skin disease diagnosis.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 15 further comprising generating a retake image message for the patient image with less than 20% of the skin area, has a blurry metric greater than a blurry threshold, has a luminosity metric greater than a luminosity threshold, or a combination thereof.
