Abstract:
Skin cancer remains one of the major causes of mortality worldwide, with malignant melanoma being the deadliest type due to its high potential for metastasis. Although relatively uncommon, it accounts for nearly 75% of skin cancer-related deaths. Early detection plays a crucial role in improving outcomes, but it is difficult because melanoma often closely resembles benign skin lesions. In this work, we propose an automated system for early melanoma detection using deep transfer learning. Our method leverages a pre-trained NASNet model, from which features are transferred to a new dataset for classification. We adapted the original network by incorporating global average pooling and customized classification layers. The system was trained and evaluated on skin images from the ISIC 2020 dataset.
