Instructions for Taking Photos

Below we provide instructions for taking 3 photos in a way that allows them to be properly assessed by the Nieamputuj.pl artificial intelligence algorithm. Please do not upload photos in which the foot/lesion is not visible, or in which the foot/lesion occupies less than 25% of the entire photo area.

Photos submitted for assessment may be:

  1. taken using the Nieamputuj.pl application,
  2. selected from the photo gallery on a mobile device, or
  3. selected from training sets after they have previously been placed in the photo gallery
Step 1
Make sure there is good lighting in the room. Ideally, the background of the photo should be uniform, although this is not required. 
Step 2
Try to take photos with the phone held vertically and without flash. The photos should not be blurred.
Step 3
Add 3 photos. Two photos of the WHOLE FOOT with the visible lesion/wound:
one from one perspective/direction,
the second from a slightly different perspective/direction,
and a third CLOSE-UP photo of the lesion/wound.
Example of correctly taken photos
