Multi-modal Wound Classification using Wound Image and Location by Deep Neural Network
Wound classification is an essential step of wound diagnosis. An efficient classifier can assist wound specialists in classifying wound types with less financial and time costs and help them decide an optimal treatment procedure. This study developed a deep neural network-based multi-modal classifier using wound images and their corresponding locations to categorize wound images into multiple classes, including diabetic, pressure, surgical, and venous ulcers. A body map is also developed to prepare the location data, which can help wound specialists tag wound locations more efficiently. Three datasets containing images and their corresponding location information are designed with the help of wound specialists. The multi-modal network is developed by concatenating the image-based and location-based classifier's outputs with some other modifications. The maximum accuracy on mixed-class classifications (containing background and normal skin) varies from 77.33% to 100% on different experiments. The maximum accuracy on wound-class classifications (containing only diabetic, pressure, surgical, and venous) varies from 72.95% to 98.08% on different experiments. The proposed multi-modal network also shows a significant improvement in results from the previous works of literature.
