Early Detection and Classification of Melanoma Skin Cancer

Abstract: Melanoma is a form of cancer that begins in melanocytes (cells that make the pigment melanin). It can affect the skin only, or it may spread to the organs and bones. It is less common, but more serious and aggressive than other types of skin cancer. Melanoma can be of benign or malignant. Malignant melanoma is the dangerous condition, while benign is not. In order to reduce the death rate due to malignant melanoma skin cancer, it is necessary to diagnose it at an early stage. In this paper, a detection system … Show more

“…At first the image preprocessing is done in 3 steps:-(i) Reduction of size to 384*216, (ii) Adjustment of brightness using histogram equalization, (iii) Median filtering of image. Median Filtering is an image filtering method in which each pixel value in an image is replaced with the median value of its neighboring pixels including itself [25]. Next, the segmentation of color image is done based on HSV color model, followed by morphological processing and area filtration respectively.…”
