A color conversion digital filter is implemented which represents a block of a medical imaging system able to assist gynecologists during colposcopic image analysis is presented. The conceived tool is a monitoring system in the field smart health; in fact an early diagnosis could improve the quality of life and the life expectancy of patients. Tree different digital green filters are conceived and the obtained performance are evaluated adopting a histogram based characterization.

Abstract
A color conversion digital filter is implemented which represents a block of a medical imaging system able to assist gynecologists during colposcopic image analysis is presented. The conceived tool is a monitoring system in the field smart health; in fact an early diagnosis could improve the quality of life and the life expectancy of patients. Tree different digital green filters are conceived and the obtained performance are evaluated adopting a histogram based characterization. The presented digital filter makes colposcopic examination faster because the filtered image is not captured but automatically obtained through the implemented tool.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
