One of the problems of wound specialists is that they may not have enough time to assess the length and width of the wound. This problem is aggravated when they have to visit the wounds virtually. This paper presents a novel AI-based method for evaluation of the wound healing process. In this algorithm, a neural network is used to detect a combination of color spectra next to each other and a neural network is used to detect the distance of the wound from the camera via hand detection. Finally, the dimensions of the wound are obtained along with the analysis of its texture. The neural networks used are a deep networks and use intensive learning algorithms with less computational complexity than deep networks, which can be implemented on mobile processors as well. Networks are modified in a way that the additional connections between different nodes are removed without any change in performance. In this way, time and computational complexity are reduced. Then through the server, images of the wound and its analysis can be sent to different users, including doctors and medical centers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
