Image Search And Data Entry

513 Skin Disease Images Project (download images and place them in folders)

Folders file (download this):
skinList500.zip has all of the folders in it.

Excel file:
GoogleSpreadsheet.xls

For each folder in the skinList500.zip file:

1) Take the name of each disease from the folder and type in the name of the folder and the words “dermnet.com” into google, for example

“Acanthosis Nigricans dermnet.com”

2) Search through the images on dermnet.com and carefully select five images you think best illustrate the disease. The images should be:

- Full size (not thumbnails)
- Horizontal (not vertical if possible)
- Different from each other if possible.

*If you can’t find 5 images use the number you can find, for example if you can only find 1, use the 1.
*We are only interested in images from dermnet.com. If you can’t find the disease on dermnet.com, then skip the disease and go to the next disease in the list.

3) Download each image into the folder with the disease name (There will be five images in the Acanthosis Nigricans folder.)

4) As you are placing the images into the folder, record the URL in the URL column at http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AhE30tC_YMWRdFQ4aktHVWNQZ2RmVWVja1g4UnNTMkE&hl=en
*Make sure you put a “, ” between each URL. For example, the Acanthosis Nigricans URL column will be “http://www.dermnet.com/Acanthosis-Nigricans/picture/22964, http://www.dermnet.com/Acanthosis-Nigricans/picture/23003, http://www.dermnet.com/Acanthosis-Nigricans/picture/22987, http://www.dermnet.com/Acanthosis-Nigricans/picture/22982, http://www.dermnet.com/Acanthosis-Nigricans/picture/23018″

5) After completion, place a “1″ in the “Dermnet” column to show you were able to find the images on dermnet.com. If you are unable to find any images for the disease on dermnet.com, skip it and put nothing in the column.
