Abstract | ||||
One of the most frequent kinds of cancer in the world is skin cancer. Clinical examination of skin lesions is essential to detect disease characteristics, but it is limited by long timeframes and a broad variety of interpretations. Computer vision is being used to detect diseases, help in diagnosis, and identify patient risks. This is particularly true for skin cancer, which may be lethal if not detected early on. Several computer-aided diagnosis and detection systems have already been developed to do this. Deep learning techniques have been developed to address these issues and assist dermatologists, as early and precise detection of skin cancer is critical to improve patient survival rates. In this paper, some pretrained deep neural networks are utilized for binary classification of skin cancer disease. They are used to classify between benign and malignant cancers in dermoscopic images. AlexNet, ResNet-18, SqueezeNet, and ShuffleNet are the used networks as transfer learning classifiers. In this study, we employed a Kaggle dataset titled "Skin Cancer: Malignant vs. Benign". The networks’ maximum accuracy approaches 89%. | ||||
