Abstract

Skin cancer is growth of abnormal cells, mainly caused due to exposure of ultraviolet rays from sun. There are various types of skin cancer, among them melanoma is the most hazardous. Manual detection of skin cancer is a time-consuming task. In order to reduce the time constraint, various computer aided diagnosis are introduced. Among them deep learning is more advantageous because it can be performed on large amount of data. Deep learning is a subset of machine learning, which extracts features from raw input. This paper deals with various deep learning architectures proposed by several researchers for detection and segmentation of skin cancer. The commonly used architectures for detection of skin cancer are convolutional neural network (CNN), k-nearest neighbor (k-NN), artificial neural network (ANN), deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) and you only look once (YOLO). For skin cancer segmentation DermoNet, U-net, GrabCut, saliency based and fully convolutional network (FCN) are used. For the abovementioned architectures, the authors have used different datasets such as ISIC 2017, ISIC 2018, ISBI 2016, ISBI 2017 and PH2 for detection and segmentation of skin cancer. To access the correctness of segmentation and classification various performance measures such as: accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, Jaccard coefficient, Dice similarity coefficient, Hammoude distance, XOR and area under curve are computed for different architecture. A detailed comparison of various methods based on their performances is discussed in this paper. Among them the method using CNN has attained highest accuracy of 97.49%.
