Abstract:

Skin cancer is basically the unnatural growth of skin tissues and it can be fatal. Lately, it has evolved into one of the most perilous types of other cancers in the human body. Premature detection can help to endure the patient. Detection of skin cancer is quite difficult. At present in medical image diagnosis, the performance of computer vision is quite conducive. Together with the progress in technology and impetuous increment in computer provision, different types of machine learning techniques and deep learning models have arisen for the analysis of medical images particularly skin lesion images. In this study, we propose a deep learning model with some image pre-processing steps that help to categorize skin lesions with a better classification rate than other existing models. Normalization, data reduction, and data augmentation are used in pre-processing steps to classify benign and malignant cancer lesions from the HAM10000 dataset. From the experimental result, the proposed model gained an accuracy of 96.10% in training and 90.93% during testing. This model reduces the execution time and performs well-handled.

I. Introduction

In health and medicine, skin cancer is one of the major types of cancer found in people aged 40-60 years especially in males rather than women [1]–[3]. Mainly the skin cancer occurs from Ultraviolet (UV) rays. People when do not protect their skin, UV rays can damage their skin’s DNA, and it can’t be controlled skin cell growth and lead to cancer. Malignant melanoma skin cancer is the most dangerous cancer with the highest mortality rate of 10,000 people die from this type of cancer every year in the U.S [4].
