MST-AI: Skin Color Estimation in Skin Cancer Datasets [PDF]
Journal of ImagingThe absence of skin color information in skin cancer datasets poses a significant challenge for accurate diagnosis using artificial intelligence models, particularly for non-white populations. In this paper, based on the Monk Skin Tone (MST) scale, which

High correlation between skin color based on CIELAB color space, epidermal melanocyte ratio, and melanocyte melanin content [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background To treat skin color disorders, such as vitiligo or burns, melanocytes are transplanted for tissue regeneration. However, melanocyte distribution in the human body varies with age and location, making it difficult to select the optimal donor ...

Mapping and annotating genomic loci to prioritize genes and implicate distinct polygenic adaptations for skin color [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsEvidence for adaptation of human skin color to regional ultraviolet radiation suggests shared and distinct genetic variants across populations. However, skin color evolution and genetics in East Asians are understudied. We quantified skin color in 48,433

Beyond Skin Tone: A Multidimensional Measure of Apparent Skin Color [PDF]
IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision, 2023 This paper strives to measure apparent skin color in computer vision, beyond a unidimensional scale on skin tone. In their seminal paper Gender Shades, Buolamwini and Gebru have shown how gender classification systems can be biased against women with ...
