In the first stage, global rotation and translation effects of assumed equally scaled psoriasis lesion patterns are removed. In the second stage, only local translation effects are removed. In both stages a novel algorithm for extreme value detection is applied. The output of each stage is evaluated with the M.A.D. transform and the correlation coefficient. Results are shown for real examples" }
