Five dermatologists experienced in dermoscopy have manually drawn the border of all the lesions and repeated the procedure after two and four weeks. The ability of a dermatologist to reproduce its own results was evaluated by measuring the non\u2010overlapping area enclosed by its three successive contours. The interobserver variability evaluated the contour accuracy when using automatic or manual drawings. The mean probability that a pixel has been misclassified was computed for every observer and automatic technique.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Experts in dermoscopy are not able to reproduce measurements precisely and the two automatic techniques had a lower missclassification probability than those obtained by each dermatologist.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> This study demonstrates that a single dermatologist should not be used as a reference, and subjective validation of lesion contour is inaccurate outside an experts's group. It is argued that image processing techniques for computer\u2010aided diagnosis must show the best compromise within such a group.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0846.2002.00334.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,12]],"date-time":"2003-03-12T20:44:31Z","timestamp":1047501871000},"page":"240-249","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Validation of segmentation techniques for digital dermoscopy"],"prefix":"10.1034","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Guillod","family":"Joel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Schmid\u2010Saugeon","family":"Philippe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guggisberg","family":"David","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cerottini","family":"Jean Philippe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Braun","family":"Ralph","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Krischer","family":"Joakim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saurat","family":"Jean\u2010Hilaire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kunt","family":"Murat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,11,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/jid.1993.63"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_2","unstructured":"StolzW Braun\u2010FalcoO LandthalerM BilekP CognettaAB.Color Atlas of Dermoscopy.Blackwell Science 1994."},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_2","first-page":"513","article-title":"Diagnostische Kriterien in der Auflichtsmikroskopie.
