Advancing Skin Cancer Detection Using DenseNet with Data Augmentation Strategies
摘要
One of the most common health issues is skin illnesses, which need to be diagnosed as soon as possible to avoid serious consequences. Conventional diagnostic techniques mostly rely on the knowledge of dermatologists, which could result in subjective interpretations and restricted accessibility in many areas. The Proposed research offered a unique Deep DenseNet Transfer Learning Model (DDNTLM) for automated skin disease categorization utilizing dermoscopic pictures in order to overcome these issues. Seven clinically significant categories of pigmented skin lesions are included in the well-known HAM10000 dataset. To improve discriminative feature learning, the suggested approach combines robust preprocessing, class-balancing augmentation, and fine-tuning of the cutting-edge DenseNet-169 architecture. The extensive connection of the network facilitates better pattern extraction of intricate lesion patterns while reducing vanishing gradient problems and encouraging feature reuse. The experimental assessment shows the high diagnostic potential of the suggested DDNTLM using common performance metrics including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The proposed model is a viable helpful tool for clinical dermatology and intelligent healthcare applications since comparative results confirm that it produces strong prediction performance and generalization capacity. Its effectiveness shows how deep transfer learning can advance dermatology precision medicine.
