Skin Cancer Classification using ResNet

Since skin disease is one of the most well-known human ailments, intelligent systems for classification of skin maladies have become another line of research in profound realizing, which is of incredible importance for the dermatologists. The exact acknowledgement of the infection is very challenging due to complexity of the skin texture and visual closeness of the disease. Skin images are filtered to discard undesirable noise and furthermore process it for improvement of the picture. We have used 25,331 clinical-skin disease images, the training images from varying lesions of eight categories and having no-skin ailments at different anatomic sites to test 8238 images. This classifier was utilized for categorization of skin lesions such as Vascular lesion, Melanoma, Basal cell carcinoma, Melanocytic nevus, Actinic keratosis, Benign keratosis, Dermatofibroma and Squamous cell carcinoma. Complex techniques such as Residual Neural Network (ResNet) which is a type of Deep Learning Neural Network which is utilized in classification of the image and obtain the diagnosis report as a confidence score with high accuracy. ResNet is used to make the training process faster b

skipping the identical lavers. There is an effective improvement in training process in every successive layer. Analysis of this investigation can help specialist in advance diagnosis, to know the kind of infection and begin with any treatment if required.
