Matlab Code for Skin Cancer Detection Using Image Processing

ABSTRACT
         Skin cancer – also known as malignant melanoma – is one of the deadliest form of cancer if not recognized in time. Since the pigmented areas/moles of the skin can be nicely observed by simple, non-invasive visual inspection (e.g. by a dermatoscope), the clinical protocols of its recognition also consider several visual features. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, which is considered one of the most common human malignancies in the world. Early detection of this disease can affect the result of the illness and improve the chance of surviving. The tremendous improvement of deep learning algorithms in image recognition tasks promises a great success for medical image analysis, in particular, melanoma classification for skin cancer diagnosis. Activation functions play an important role in the performance of deep neural networks for image recognition problems as well as medical image classification. Melanin is the pigment that discerns the color of human skin. The special cells produce melanin in the skin. If these cells are damaged or unhealthy, skin discoloration is visible. Skin pigment discoloration on cheeks is a hazardous fact as a symptom of human skin disease with a possibility of losing natural beauty. The extracted information of the skin discoloration can work as a guide to diagnosis the disease. In this research, different imaging techniques like watershed method, edge detection and morphological operations are used to analyze and extract the information of cheek’s discoloration lesion by measuring the pixel number of lesion on skin. The image analyzing results are visually examined by the skin specialist.
