Researchers have developed a new system for segmenting hair and characterizing skin from macroscopic dermatological images, aiming to improve laser treatment parameterization. This pipeline integrates a custom-trained YOLOv9 model with traditional image processing techniques to extract objective features like phototype, hair density, color, and thickness. The system is designed for real-world clinical images, unlike previous approaches that used controlled dermoscopic datasets. Initial experiments show promising segmentation metrics, demonstrating the potential for automated laser parameterization in dermatology. AI
