摘要:Measurement of wound healing status is very important for monitoring and evaluation of progress in an individual patient. Thus wound classification is a vital step in the development of an automatic measurement system for wound healing assessment. In the existing system a RGB (Red, Green and Blue) histogram distributions of pixel values from wound colour images is being used in the new tissue classification protocol [1],[4] . This protocol has been carried out using the KNN classifier and results show that the in the proposed system the existing system protocol is integrated with another protocol i.e., fuzzy classification for maximum probability. Thus the maximum probable result is considered as final classification of the resultant wound type depending whether the wound categorizes under the acute or the chronic wound and denotes the healing period.
