The Dermofit Image Library is a collection of 1,300 focal high quality skin lesion images collected under standardised conditions with internal colour standards.

The lesions span across ten different classes including melanomas, seborrhoeic keratosis and basal cell carcinomas.

Each image has a gold standard diagnosis based on expert opinion (including dermatologists and dermatopathologists).

Each image consists of a snapshot of the lesion surrounded by some normal skin. A binary segmentation mask that denotes the lesion area is included with each lesion.

The categories of lesions and number of associated images is listed below.
