Skin cancer reorganization and classification with deep neural network (1703.00534v1)

Abstract: As one kind of skin cancer, melanoma is very dangerous. Dermoscopy based early detection and recarbonization strategy is critical for melanoma therapy. However, well-trained dermatologists dominant the diagnostic accuracy. In order to solve this problem, many effort focus on developing automatic image analysis systems. Here we report a novel strategy based on deep learning technique, and achieve very high skin lesion segmentation and melanoma diagnosis accuracy: 1) we build a segmentation neural network (skin_segnn), which achieved very high lesion boundary detection accuracy; 2) We build another very deep neural network based on Google inception v3 network (skin_recnn) and its well-trained weight. The novel designed transfer learning based deep neural network skin_inceptions_v3_nn helps to achieve a high prediction accuracy.
