Abstract
A method for assessing a three-dimensional (3D) surface area having one or more lesions is disclosed. The method includes steps of: capturing a two-dimensional (2D) color image and a depth image of the 3D surface area; enhancing contrast of the 2D color image; segmenting the one or more lesions of the 2D color image into one or more segmented lesions; and calculating 3D area of the one or more segmented lesions using information from 2D color image and the depth image.
