Melanoma mortality rates are the highest amongst skin cancer patients. Melanoma is life threating when it grows beyond the dermis of the skin. Hence, depth is an important factor to diagnose melanoma. This paper introduces a non-invasive computerized dermoscopy system that considers the estimated depth of skin lesions for diagnosis. A 3-D skin lesion reconstruction technique using the estimated depth obtained from regular dermoscopic images is presented. On basis of the 3-D reconstruction, depth and 3-D shape features are extracted. In addition to 3-D features, regular color, texture, and 2-D shape features are also extracted. Feature extraction is critical to achieve accurate results. Apart from melanoma, in-situ melanoma the proposed system is designed to diagnose basal cell carcinoma, blue nevus, dermatofibroma, haemangioma, seborrhoeic keratosis, and normal mole lesions. For experimental evaluations, the PH2, ISIC: Melanoma Project, and ATLAS dermoscopy data sets is considered. Different feature set combinations is considered and performance is evaluated. Significant performance improvement is reported the post inclusion of estimated depth and 3-D features. The good classification scores of sensitivity = 96%, specificity = 97% on PH2 data set and sensitivity = 98%, specificity = 99% on the ATLAS data set is achieved. Experiments conducted to estimate tumor depth from 3-D lesion reconstruction is presented. Experimental results achieved prove that the proposed computerized dermoscopy system is efficient and can be used to diagnose varied skin lesion dermoscopy images.

Melanoma occurrence rates contain be increasing for the earlier 3 decades. The majority folks analyzed with non-melanoma carcinoma contain higher prospects to cure, however malignant melanoma endurance rates are low compare to different carcinoma varieties. It is important that one in 5 Americans will grow skin cancer in their life, and generally, one American expires from skin cancer each hour. A system to obviate this kind of skin cancer is being scheduled and is very in-demand. Initial detection of melanoma is one of the key factors to increment the chance of remedy significantly. Malignant melanomas are asymmetrical and have aberrant borders with rages and notched edges, thus analyzing the form of the skin lesion is consequential for melanoma early detection and aversion. In this paper, we have a tendency to introduce an automatic skin lesion segmentation and analysis for premature detection and obviation predicated on color and shape geometry. The system additionally incorporates extra feature sets such as color to find the wound type. In our planned system, we use PH2 Dermoscopy image information. This image info contains a complete of fifty dermoscopy pictures of lesions, together with traditional, malignant melanoma and atypical cases. Our approach of analyzing the form pure mathematics and therefore the color are going to be subsidiary to detect atypical lesions afore it grows and becomes a melanoma case.
