Abstract

Image processing is done to get a better version of an image or an enhanced or filtered image. It is used to extract important information from the image. A raw image is converted into a digital image by undergoing various processes for which proper algorithms and mechanisms are defined. To further investigate on an image, we can perform texture analysis on it. Texture recognition is also an important characteristic of image processing. Both texture recognition and image processing have a variety of uses in the medicine field. In this paper, the authors have discussed about how we can detect the texture of our skin and use it further to test the suitability of skin products that we use daily.

Keywords
