This paper presents a novel screening approach of human skin pathologies using Active IR Thermography. The inputs of the proposed algorithm are the values of the physical parameters of the skin. Parameters are estimated based on dynamic thermographic measurements of human skin and the developed thermal model of the tissue. The calculations were based on the inverse thermal modelling. Classification was done using Support Vector Machine, Linear Discriminant Analysis and k-Nearest Neighbours classifiers. As an example, one presented the results of screening for psoriasis.
