Skin cancer diagnosis based on optimized convolutional neural network

Abstract

Early detection of skin cancer is very important and can prevent some skin cancers, such as focal cell carcinoma and melanoma. Although there are several reasons that have bad impacts on the detection precision. Recently, the utilization of image processing and machine vision in medical applications is increasing. In this paper, a new image processing based method has been proposed for the early detection of skin cancer. The method utilizes an optimal Convolutional neural network (CNN) for this purpose. In this paper, improved whale optimization algorithm is utilized for optimizing the CNN. For evaluation of the proposed method, it is compared with some different methods on two different datasets. Simulation results show that the proposed method has superiority toward the other compared methods.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
