It is easy for a human eye to distinguish the images of similar appearance but classifying the images like that of cancer affected skin requires more expertise. And as the skin cancer cases are increasing globally, it requires more number of human experts. To overcome this problem, many people are working on constructing machine learning classifiers which can detect skin cancer automatically by classifying skin images. This paper concentrates on developing an approach for predicting skin cancer by classifying images using deep convolution neural network. The proposed work is tested on standard cancer dataset and obtained more than 85% accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
