 INTRODUCTION

• One of the fundamental sorts of skin cancer is Melanoma. It is the deadliest

skin cancer which may lead to death.
• The reasons for the occurrence of the melanoma is of genetic factor exposing
skin directly to the UV rays which are emitted by the sun.
• Identification of this melanoma at very initial stage may helping curing the
skin disease which may lead to skin cancer.
• Our work mainly focus on the identification of Melanoma at its initial stage.
 ABSTRACT

• Melanoma is considered a fatal type of skin cancer. Generally from the age
group of 10-40 years people will have more moles on their skin. These moles
will have the alike appearance with these melanoma. Identification or
classification of melanoma and Nevi (mole) is very important.
• Where in the proposed system we use FFNN which is a part of Deep learning
and it provides better classification results than the other Algorithms. For
division K-mean grouping is utilized and for extracting feature of the input
image GLCM is used. From the extracted features, we distinguish the images
as melanoma or nevus by the Feed Forward Neural Network classifier.
 OBJECTIVE

• To classify the skin lesion into melanoma and nevus.

• To obtain better accuracy.

 EXISTING SYSTEM

• In the existing model, support vector machine is used for distinguishing the
image into melanoma and nevus.
• So there is a chance of not detecting melanoma in few cases. Therefore the
existing system is a bit challenging one.
• For this system, DERMIS images representing 120 skin infection pictures
are used. This approach achieved a precision over 96%.
 PROPOSED SYSTEM

• In this proposed system we are using the K-mean clustering

technique using centroid selection for increasing the accuracy in
classification.

• For feature extraction GLCM and ABCD rule are used with FFNN
as the classifying the image into melanoma or nevus and we achieve
an accuracy of about 97%.

 PREPROCESSING

• Preprocessing is the initial step for detection of skin cancer which does
image enhancement by removing noises.
• Then it is converted from RGB model to Grayscale model.
• The input image often consists of air bubbles and noises which causes the
degradation of the results. Therefore, preprocessing is an important
procedure to be followed before applying segmentation
PREPROCESSING OUTPUT
 SEGMENTATION
• The second stage after preprocessing is detecting and segmenting the region of
interest which represents the lesion region. Image segmentation is done by
partitioning a digital image into various segments. The goal of segmentation is
to simplify and/or change the representation or segregate the portion of an
image into something that is more meaningful and easier to analyze.

• The segmentation stage includes steps: Image thresholding, image filling,

image opening, converting extracted region to gray level, and then performing
histogram equalization to the extracted gray level image.
SEGMENTED IMAGES
 FEATURE EXTRACTION

• Defining the features is the most important factor in image processing

• we use one of the common algorithm to extract features which is Gray Level
Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM).

• In addition, the dermoscopy features (ABCD) are important in distinguishing

skin lesion types.
 FEATURE EXTRACTION

The feature extraction process includes 4 phases as follows:

Phase 1: In this phase, we deal with the original image in RGB format, which
contains three channels of colors, Red, Green, and Blue.

Phase 2: In this phase, we deal with the binary, where the features of
Asymmetry, border irregularity, and circulation are obtained from the binary
image. TDS features are calculated with parameters as Asymmetry, Border
irregularity, color and diameter
 FEATURE EXTRACTION

Phase 3: In this phase, we deal with a lesion image in grayscale image.

Energy, correlation, homogeneity and contrast features are obtained by
applying gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) on the gray level image of
the lesion.

Phase 4: In this phase, we deal with the histogram equalized image, where the
features of entropy, skewness, kurtosis and mean are obtained .
FEATURE EXTRACTION
 CLASSIFICATION

• This is the final stage of the proposed skin cancer detection model which
helps for early diagnosis and progression of melanoma nevus using images.

• The classification accuracy of a system depends not only on the selection of

feature set but also on the selection of optimal classifier.

• In this study, feed forward neural network classifier is adopted due to its
superior generality and fast convergence in high dimensional data.

 RESULT AND DISCUSSION

• Contrasting the current framework, we utilized an effective feed forward

network classifier to characterize the information pictures precisely.
• For better execution of the framework, we utilized a median filter for the
commotion evacuation, which thus upgrade the picture by eliminating the
clamor.
• The unique features of the segmented images were extracted using GLCM.
Features are contrast, correlation, Energy, Homogeneity, Std Deviation. On
that features feedforward neural network algorithm is used to classify. The
better accuracy is achieved.
