This work contains the main results of the design of the mobile system for early diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions. The system includes the following main stages: registration of the images of a lesion and the standard placed on the skin surface, evaluation of the image quality, detection of a pigmented lesion, determination of lesion’s parameters, and calculation of the malignancy probability. The advantages of the proposed system for early diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions are noninvasiveness and the ability to automatically determine the parameters of lesions and detect precancerous changes on their basis. The mobile system was tested on 520 digital images of in vivo skin pigmented lesions, including ordinary dysplastic nevi and melanoma. The sensitivity and specificity of the method proved to be 95 and 91%, respectively.
