Development and Comparison of Skin Cancer Diagnosis Models

Abstract

Skin cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the epidermis, the outermost layer of skin. The rapid growth and proliferation of abnormal cells creates malignant tumors of the skin. With the computer analysis of skin images, researchers are made to distinguish whether the skin spot is benign or malign It is automatically possible to classify whether a skin spot is benign or malignant by computer analysis of skin images. In this study, it was aimed to diagnose malignant skin images by computer analysis. The stained appearance on the skin is classified as benign or malignant using deep transfer learning techniques. Benign or malignant skin spot image data were used in network training. In image classification, darkNet-19, darkNet-53, squeezeNet, shufleNet architectures available in the Matlab deep learning toolbox were compared. High accuracy results have been obtained. The highest performance was achieved with the rate of 89.89% with darkNet-19 architecture. The performances of the networks darkNet-53, shuffleNet, squeezeNet architectures are 87.36%, 86.15%, 84.23% respectively.
