Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for automated monitoring of the size, area or boundary of chronic wound images. The disclosure includes use of a probability map that measures the likelihood of wound pixels belonging to granulation, slough or eschar, which can then be segmented using any standard segmentation techniques. Measurement of the wound size, area or boundary occurs automatically and without user input related to outlining, filling in, or making measurement lines over the image on a display.
