CNN Approach for Skin Lesion Classification Using Dermoscopic Images
摘要
Dermatologists can discover skin malignancies in their early stages and save patients’ lives by evaluating skin lesions. Skin lesions can occur for a variety of reasons, including allergies, infections, sun exposure, and other diseases. Because of the high degree of similarity among the many types of skin lesions, an incorrect diagnosis is made, and clinical evaluation of skin lesions is hampered by lengthy turnaround times. Dermatologists may now classify skin lesions with the help of deep learning techniques. The skin lesions in this study were classified into seven classes using convolutional neural network (CNN): melanocytic nevi, melanoma, melanoma-like lesions, melanoma-like lesions, Benign keratosis-like lesions, Basal cell carcinoma, Actinic keratoses, Vascular lesions, and Dermatofibroma. This endeavor in dermatology demonstrates how ML and DL approaches can aid clinical decision-making and improve patient outcomes. Utilising 10015 images of skin lesions from the publically available HAM10000 dataset, we test the effectiveness of the suggested model using a variety of criteria, such as accuracy and precision.
