The Sun's ultraviolet radiation, toxic chemicals from industry, and other factors can cause problems to human skin. These factors have boosted the risk of humans contracting skin cancer. In identifying and detecting signals of skin cancer diseases, recent advancements in deep learning techniques significantly improve the accuracy of diagnosis. This work delves into processing techniques for human skin images with MorphologyEx (blackhat), thresholding, semantic segmentation with UNET, and several famous convolutional neural network architectures to improve skin classification performance. If skin cancer can be stopped in the first stage, the survival rate of the patient could be more than 95%, while it drops to just 5% if the detection is carried lately in Stage IV4. Due to its seriousness, the healthcare and research community has received considerable attention, and its most important goal is to be able to diagnose it at an early stage. However, the challenge due to the similarity in melanocytic and non-melanoma skin lesions is inevitable. We achieved skin classification performances of 0.8560, 0.9672, 0.8063, and 0.8560 measured by overall accuracy, area under curve, Matthews correlation coefficient, and F1-score, respectively. The proposed approach has been deployed into applications on Mobile and Web platforms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
