Researches on applications of mobile devices bring wide variety of uses in healthcare. One such work focus on detection of malignant melanoma using mobile image analysis. Dermoscopy is one of a current use, but need a special expertise for the detection of cancer melanoma. The image taken using smartphone is used for this purpose. It mainly focus on localization of the skin lesion by combining fast skin detection and fusion of two fast segmentation results. This also introduces some set of image features and to capture color variation and border irregularity which are useful for smartphone-captured images. It propose a new feature selection criterion to select a small set of good features used in the final lightweight system. The method introduces a new module for the detection of distorted images such as motion blur and alert users in such situations. The blurred image undergo deblurring to detect the correct result. The result of this application will identify whether the image is malignant melanoma or benign with their intensity value from smartphone captured images used.
