AB  - Feature extraction of skin lesions is necessary to provide automated tools for 
      the detection of skin cancer. High-level intuitive features (HLIF) that measure 
      border irregularity of skin lesion images obtained with standard cameras are 
      presented. Existing feature sets have defined many low-level unintuitive 
      features. Incorporating HLIFs into a set of low-level features gives more 
      semantic meaning to the feature set, and allows the system to provide intuitive 
      rationale for the classification decision. Promising experimental results show 
      that adding a small set of HLIFs to the large state-of-the-art low-level skin 
      lesion feature set increases sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy, while 
      decreasing the cross-validation error.
