Imaging techniques to extract information: New born baby's skin birthmark

Birthmark on human skin can be used for digital identification specially for new born baby, because their skin usually scars, tattoo, and others unexpected lesion free. The available methods to extract skin birthmark information take long time and depend on clinical process. Computer based Imaging program can be the solution to minimize time delay and reduce the complexity. Extracting information of skin birthmark is critical and complex process because of skin tone variation and shape of different organs. Different types of imaging operation such as edge detection for shape analysis, morphological operation for getting clear view, and mathematical image enhancing operations are applied for the extracting process to visualize the identifying information of new born baby. By comparing with other approaches, the successfulness of this new technique has been demonstrated for the forensic study where the average success rate is 94.75%.
