Burning Detection

Segmented burn-wound images and tested severity classification plus healing-day prediction.
Soongsil University

Overview

Burning Detection is a medical-computer-vision pipeline for analyzing burn-wound images. The project combines severity detection, wound-area segmentation, and healing-period prediction into one workflow so clinical image data can be converted into structured assessment signals.

Role

  • Compared UNet, UNet++, and EfficientUNet++ variants for burn-area segmentation.
  • Applied and evaluated YOLO-based detection for burn severity classification.
  • Performed dataset exploration, preprocessing, and label-quality checks before training.
  • Built a ConvLSTM-based prediction stage for estimating wound-area change and expected healing trajectory.

Pipeline

  1. Detect burn severity from the input wound image.
  2. Segment the burn region and estimate the wound area.
  3. Feed detection and area features into a temporal prediction model.
  4. Return a structured output containing severity, segmentation, and predicted healing progress.

Result

The final prototype established an end-to-end detection, segmentation, and prediction pipeline. The ConvLSTM healing-area prediction reached roughly 0.8 ROC performance in the project evaluation.

The work also used the public AIHub burn-image dataset: AIHub burn data.
