The main purpose of this study is to observe the importance of machine vision (MV) approach for the identification of five types of skin cancers, namely, actinic-keratosis, benign, solar-lentigo, malignant, and nevus. The 1000 (200 × 5) benchmark image datasets of skin cancers are collected from the International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC). The acquired ISIC image datasets were transformed into texture feature dataset that was a combination of first-order histogram and gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) features. For the skin cancer image, a total of 137,400 (229 × 3 x 200) texture features were acquired on three nonover-lapping regions of interest (ROIs). Principal component analysis (PCA) clustering approach was employed for reducing the dimension of feature dataset. Each image acquired twenty most discriminate features based on two different approaches of statistical features such as average correlation coefficient plus probability of error (ACC + POE) and Fisher (Fis). Furthermore, a correlation-based feature selection (CFS) approach was employed for feature reduction, and optimized 12 features were acquired. Furthermore, a classification algorithm naive bayes (NB), Bayes Net (BN), LMT Tree, and multilayer perception (MLP) using 10 K-fold cross-validation approach were employed on optimized feature datasets and the overall accuracy achieved by MLP is 97.1333%.

Skin cancer is a prevalent and perilous form of cancer and presents significant diagnostic challenges due to its high costs, dependence on medical experts, and time-consuming procedures. The existing diagnostic process is inefficient and expensive, requiring extensive medical expertise and time. To tackle these issues, researchers have explored the application of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, particularly machine learning techniques such as shallow and deep learning, to enhance the diagnostic process for skin cancer. These tools employ computer algorithms and deep neural networks to identify and categorize skin cancer. However, accurately distinguishing between skin cancer and benign tumors remains challenging, necessitating the extraction of pertinent features from image data for classification. This study addresses these challenges by employing Principal Component Analysis (PCA), a dimensionality-reduction approach, to extract relevant features from skin images. Additionally, accurately classifying skin images into malignant and benign categories presents another obstacle. To improve accuracy, the AdaBoost algorithm is utilized, which amalgamates weak classification models into a robust classifier with high accuracy. This research introduces a novel approach to skin cancer diagnosis by integrating Principal Component Analysis (PCA), AdaBoost, and EfficientNet B0, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The novelty lies in the combination of these techniques to develop a robust and accurate system for skin cancer classification. The advantage of this approach is its ability to significantly reduce costs, minimize reliance on medical experts, and expedite the diagnostic process. The developed model achieved an accuracy of 93.00% using the DermIS dataset and demonstrated excellent precision, recall, and F1-score values, confirming its ability to correctly classify skin lesions as malignant or benign. Additionally, the model achieved an accuracy of 91.00% using the ISIC dataset, which is widely recognized for its comprehensive collection of annotated dermoscopic images, providing a robust foundation for training and validation. These advancements have the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency and accuracy of skin cancer diagnosis and classification. Ultimately, the integration of AI tools and techniques in skin cancer diagnosis can lead to cost reduction and improved patient outcomes, benefiting both patients and healthcare providers.
