Image-processing techniques in machine learning (ML) for skin cancer detection using clinical images.
By Vijay Kumar MalesuOct 30 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent review published in the Life Journal, a group of authors reviewed image-processing techniques in machine learning for skin cancer detection using clinical images, evaluating their efficacy, available datasets, and challenges.
Interestingly, dermatologists performed better with macroscopic than dermoscopic images in one study. Recently, computational methods, particularly ML, have shown promise in assisting early skin cancer diagnosis. Existing literature and gaps Although there is a plethora of evaluations on identifying skin cancer through artificial intelligence, a gap exists in the comprehensive analysis of diagnosing skin cancer using clinical images and machine learning.
Illumination correction Images might contain illumination artifacts. To prevent shading and lesion border confusion, shading is diminished before segmentation. Data augmentation Enhancing machine learning performance involves creating varied training examples. This is done through data augmentation, which is especially useful for imbalanced datasets. Techniques include cropping, rotation, and noise addition, among others.
However, such claims’ reliability remains debatable. In contrast, numerous researchers used the K-means clustering algorithm, with variances in accuracy due to diverse datasets. Feature extraction in dermatological diagnosis Importance of features In ML, feature extraction and selection are pivotal. Many studies on skin lesion diagnosis utilize a myriad of features, often rooted in the ABCD rule of dermatology, which covers asymmetry, border irregularity, color, diameter, and texture.
