Computer vision for microscopic skin cancer diagnosis using handcrafted and non‐handcrafted features

Abstract

Skin covers the entire body and is the largest organ. Skin cancer is one of the most dreadful cancers that is primarily triggered by sensitivity to ultraviolet rays from the sun. However, the riskiest is melanoma, although it starts in a few different ways.The patient is extremely unaware of recognizing skin malignant growth at the initial stage. Literature is evident that various handcrafted and automatic deep learning features are employed to diagnose skin cancer using the traditional machine and deep learning techniques. The current research presents a comparison of skin cancer diagnosis techniques using handcrafted and non-handcrafted features. Additionally, clinical features such as Menzies method, seven-point detection, asymmetry, border color and diameter, visual textures (GRC), local binary patterns, Gabor filters, random fields of Markov, fractal dimension, and an oriental histography are also explored in the process of skin cancer detection. Several parameters, such as jacquard index, accuracy, dice efficiency, preciseness, sensitivity, and specificity, are compared on benchmark data sets to assess reported techniques. Finally, publicly available skin cancer data sets are described and the remaining issues are highlighted.

Machine Learning Based Clinical Decision Support System for Early COVID-19 Mortality Prediction

“…Decision Trees: Decision Trees predict the dependent variable's values by learning simple decision rules inferred from the data ( 41 , 42 ). It was trained with criterion set as “entropy,” maximum depth set as 9, minimum number of samples required to be at a leaf node set as 9, minimum number of samples required to split an internal node set as 2, and splitter set as “random.”…”

Machine learning techniques to detect and forecast the daily total COVID‐19 infected and deaths cases under different lockdown types

“…DTs are supervised learning methods used for both classification and regression purposes (Saba, 2021). They predicted the dependent variable's values by learning simple decision rules inferred from the data featured (Khan et al, 2020).…”

Internet of medical things embedding deep learning with data augmentation for mammogram density classification

“…The concept of E‐healthcare service is developing with time. Thus, it is vital to design IoT with a cloud system to provide healthcare services for disease management and provide continuous care for patients (Saba, 2021). Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) integrates IoT and healthcare (Saba, 2019).…”

“…The radiologists examine mammogram images to express a sound report, but sometimes they highlighted benign or doubtful cases as malignant by mistake. A computer‐aided diagnosis (CAD) framework helps to reduce the doctors' mismatch diagnosis and classify the mammograms on their density types that are fatty, dense, and glandular (Saba, 2020; Sadad et al, 2020). CAD architecture encompasses various processing methodologies such as classification, feature selection, feature extraction, segmentation, and preprocessing Yousaf et al, 2019.…”
