Present invention provides embedded device for detection, screening, capturing images and analysis of symptoms of skin cancer using ARM9. Traditional skin diseases detection system has all the disadvantages of complex, bulky and inconvenient to carry. Compared to desktop computers, embedded processors have limited processing speed, memory, and power, but they have the advantage of portability and low cost. The embedded image processing system integrates all the functions of image capturing, displaying and processing as well as taking the advantages of small size and low power consumption. The system takes S3C2440 (ARM9) as core to construct image acquisition and processing system with CMOS camera, LCD monitor and memory, and builds the necessary peripherals and communication interfaces to complete the design of hardware platform. The test results showed that acquisition images were clear and the system turned out to meet the requirement. Following invention is described in detail with the help of Figure 1 of sheet 1 shows overall system architecture of embedded system for skin cancer detection.
