The systems comprise a hand-held imaging device, such as a smart device, and a library of algorithms or modules that can be implemented thereon to process the imaged object, extract representative features therefrom and classify the object based on the representative features. Also provided are methods for the identifying or classifying an object of interest on a body that utilize the algorithms and an automated portable system configured to implement the same.
