Automated Skin Cancer Classification and Detection Using Convolutional Neural Networks and Dermoscopy Images

The uncontrolled growth of skin cells in the epidermis producing the creation of a mass termed a tumor is a dangerous condition known as skin cancer. Current developments in deep learning artificial intelligence have greatly improved image-based diagnosis. In this study, we included a Skin Lesion Cancer feature extractor Convolutional Neural Network (SLC-CNN) model, which is used for both classification with the SVM classifier and segmentation with XGBoost for skin cancer. In our proposed system, a test image of skin cancer is taken and pre-processed for both classification and segmentation purposes. After applying pre-processing, the test image features are extracted using the SLC-CNN feature extractor, which features are used in SVM to classify the types of skin cancer (Benign and…
