Automatic Skin Lesion Analysis using Large-scale Dermoscopy Images and Deep Residual Networks

Understand

Malignant melanoma has one of the most rapidly increasing incidences in the world and has a considerable mortality rate.

• Early diagnosis is particularly important since melanoma can be cured with prompt excision.
• Dermoscopy images play an important role in the non-invasive early detection of melanoma [1].
• However, melanoma detection using human vision alone can be subjective, inaccurate and poorly reproducible even among experienced dermatologists.
