Melanoma Detection Using Convolutional Neural Network

Skin cancer is a typical common cancer. Melanoma, also known as malignant melanoma, is the most lethal form of skin cancer and responsible for 75% of skin cancer deaths, despite being the least common skin cancer. The best sway to combat that is trying to identify it us earls as possible and treat it with minor surgery. In this paper, I systematically study melanoma and notice that using deeper, wider and higher resolution convolutional neural networks can obtain better performance. Based on these observations, I propose an automated melanoma detection model by analysis of skin lesion images using EfficientNet-B6, which can capture more finegrained features. The experimental cvaluations on a large publicly available dataset ISIC 2020 Challenge Dataset, which is generated by the International Skin Imaging Collaboration and images of it are from several primary medical sources, have demonstrated stale-of-the-art classification performance compared With prior popular melanoma classifiers on the same dataset.
