Abstract

With the increasing prevalence rate of diabetes and obesity worldwide, chronic wounds are becoming a significant burden for world health and economy. The treatment of a chronic wound goes through complex and time-intensive process. During the healing period, continuous wound measurement helps clinicians to predict the healing time and monitor the treatment efficiency. Current clinical techniques such as ruler-based or tracing-based methods are inaccurate, time-consuming and also subject to intra- and inter-reader variability that does not satisfy a comprehensive clinical benchmark. In this paper, we proposed a method for wound boundary demarcation and estimation based on superpixel segmentation and classification using an enhanced convolution neural network. An overall accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of around 90% was observed, which fared much better against traditional methods.
