The proposed algorithm is capable of detecting such linear structures using local image curvature information obtained by the Hessian matrix. A linear structure is characterized as streak, based on its geometric characteristics. The streak detection algorithm is applied to a number of dermoscopy images containing malignant and non-malignant skin lesions. In this work we propose also a new class of streak based image features and we investigate their value in image classification according to malignancy. %G English %Z TC 12 %Z WG 12.5 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01385344/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01385344/file/978-3-319-23868-5_4_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01385344 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01385344 %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC12 %~ IFIP-AIAI %~ IFIP-WG12-5 %~ IFIP-AICT-458
