- Abstract
Skin cancer is the most prevalent and deadliest kind of cancer. Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer, but it can be detected earlier and successfully treated. The dermoscopic image classification using Machine Learning (ML) approaches in identifying melanoma is increased over the last two decades. The proposed classification system involves three stages. Initially, the pre-processing employs the median filter and thresholding approach aids to remove the hairs and unwanted noise. Then, the shape components, Asymmetry, Border Irregularity, Colour and Dermoscopic structure (ABCD) rule, and Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) features are utilized to extract the skin lesion region. After that, the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Random Forest (RF), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers are employed to perform melanoma skin classification from the skin lesion. The dermoscopic skin images used in this study are obtained from the PH2 database. Finally, the SVM classifier outperformed the other classifiers in identifying melanoma skin cancer, providing 94.81% efficiency.
