Abstract:

 

Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. It is a type of cancer that develops from the pigment-containing cells known as melanocytes-mutate and become cancerous. Even in such a modern-cultured society of today, it is a very difficult task to detect such a disease and there are quite a few applications or systems developed for these tasks, which provide services only through paid subscriptions. We intend to develop an application that detects melanoma without any subscriptions. Melanoma is a hazardous type of skin cancer that is usually curable if detected early. As the biopsy (diagnosis) of this disease is a bit expensive and time-consuming procedure. Therefore, to tackle this issue we will be developing an android application through which we can detect Melanoma through the image processing techniques with the assistance of Convolutional neural network algorithm (CNN) with a training accuracy of 98% and testing accuracy of about 94%.
