INTRODUCTION
1.1 Fundamentals

The skin is one of the most important and fastest growing tissues in the human body. The
burden of dermatology is regarded as a multidisciplinary concept that understands the
psychological, social and economic significance of dermatitis in patients and their homes and
communities. It is a filth that happens to people of all ages. The skin often breaks down
because it affects the body. There are more than 3000 skin diseases. A good-looking spoiler
disease will have a major impact and may cause severe pain and chronic injury. Most chronic
skin conditions, as well as atopic eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo and leg ulcers, which are not fatal
at the moment, can be found as a major problem in the dizziness that includes physical,
emotional and economic consequences. On the other hand, skin cancer can be dangerous and a
problem associated with our time. One of the most common diseases among people worldwide
is dermatitis. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC), melanoma, intraepithelial carcinoma, and squamous
cell carcinoma are examples of skin cancer (SCC). The incidence of skin cancer is currently
much higher than in other new types of lung and breast cancer. Several skin diseases have
symptoms that can take a long time to cure as they may develop months before they appear.

As a result, computer-based diagnostics are initiated because they can produce results in less
time with greater accuracy than human analysis using laboratory procedures. Deep Learning is
a technology widely used in diagnosing skin diseases. In-depth learning models will use

1
targeted data to identify and evaluate features in unspecified data patterns, resulting in
significant performance even for low calculation models. This study provides a solid way to
accurately diagnose skin diseases using diagnostic methods that reduce the cost of diagnosis.
This has led researchers to consider the use of an in-depth study model to classify skin disease
based on a picture of the affected region. Next is how the whole article is Organized. Phase
discusses in detail the research related to the latest technology for diagnosing skin diseases.
The proposed strategy for classifying skin disease using in-depth learning strategies is
discussed . Outcomes and discussion are described following a conclusion and future activity .

1.2 Objectives

Skin disease is one of the most common and difficult diseases for diagnosis because of its lack
of awareness and ignorance. In many developing countries people also consult dermatologists
for skin disease and prevention measures. The people are uncertain of the medicinal
prescriptions provided by the dermatologist and there is no justification in the current system.
Importance of skin disease without being ignored at the early stage is very important as skin
plays a major role in protecting the human body against fungal and harmful bacterial
infections. Many people get skin disease through their inheritance, job, lack of nutrition,
regular habitats, exposure to chemicals etc. Environmental factors also influence the existence
of skin disease like climate, summer season, winter season. Thus identifying skin disease and
diagnosis at the early stage is very crucial. Thus to provide a feasible and efficient system and
due to the emergence of smart phones, image processing based disease analysis is more
demandable as this could provide promising results in less time. Utilization of camera
techniques, the people can provide the input and integration of image processing and machine
learning techniques when the respective skin disease is identified and diagnosis is
recommended. The input analysis is performed using two staged approaches to address this
problem. The first approach is the image processing technique and the second approach is the
machine learning technique to train the model.

Literature Survey
In this chapter the relevant techniques in literature are reviewed. It describes various
techniques used in the work. Identify the current literature on related domain problems.
Identify the techniques that have been developed and present the various advantages and
limitations of these methods used extensively in literature.
A system is proposed for the dissection of skin diseases using color images without the need
for doctor intervention. The system consists of two stages, the first the detection of the infected
skin by using color image processing techniques, k-means clustering and color gradient
techniques to identify the diseased skin and the second the classification of the disease type
using artificial neural networks. The system was tested on six types of skin diseases with
average accuracy of first stage 95.99% and the second stage 94.016%. In the method of [2],
extraction of image features is the first step in detection of skin diseases. In this method, the
greater the number of features extracted from the image, the better the accuracy of the system.
The author of [2] applied the method to nine types of skin diseases with accuracy up to 90%.
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that can cause death, if not diagnose and treat in the early
stages. The author of [3], focused on the study of various segmentation techniques that could
be applied to detect melanoma using image processing. Segmentation process is described that
falls on the infected spot boundaries to extract more features.

diseases researchers reported following problems during skin disease classification 1) a disease
may have many lesion types .
2) Many diseases may have a similar visual characteristic which is often confusing for the
dermatologist as well to identify the disease by visual inspection.
3) The varying skin colors and skin type age introduce more difficulty in computer-based
diagnosis therefore relevant feature selection for such diseases is very important in computer-
based diagnosis in order to identify it correctly the success of an automatic system relies on how
accurately the system performs and does needed image processing as well as machine learning

3.2 Requirements for Implementation

In Machine learning, a technologist regularly inputs the information and consequently the
predetermined conduct, and hence the rationale is nitty gritty by the machine. This will be
extremely valid for profound learning. Consequently, the point of Machine learning testing is,
most importantly, to ensure that this learned rationale can remain steady, regardless of which
rate times we've adapted to choose the program.Machine learning includes extra activities to
your aggravation list. Besides, every ml model craves not exclusively to be tried anyway
assessed. Your model needs to sum up well. this will not be what we will generally see by
testing, anyway examination is needed to make sure that the exhibition is good. First of all, you
split the information into 3 non-covering sets. you use a preparation set to show the model.

Pre-train tests:

This sort of take a look at is performed early and licenses you to get bugs prior to running the
model. they're not truly like instructing boundaries to be run. A partner illustration of a pre-
train take a look at may be a program that checks whether there are any marks missing in your
preparation and approval datasets.

Post-train tests :

These tests are performed on a prepared model and check whether it performs appropriately.
They permit us to explore the rationale behind the calculation and see whether there are any

11
bugs there. There are 3 kinds of tests that report the conduct of the program:

Invariance tests. exploitation of constant tests, we'll check to what extent we'll adjust the info
while not contacting the presentation of the model. we'll consolidate input models and check
for consistency in forecasts. For instance , on the off chance that we will in general run an
example acknowledgment model on 2 totally extraordinary photographs of red apples, we will
in general expect that the outcome will not change bountifully.

3.3 Evaluation Metrics

● After the preprocessing, skin feature extraction and skin disease classification is
implemented using AlexNet CNN.
● The network has rich feature representations for a wide range of images. ● The network
has an image input size of 227-by-227. For our work, we change the fully connected layer
and classification layer.
● After defining the network structure, specify the training options. Train the network
using stochastic gradient descent with momentum (SGDM) with an initial learning rate
of 0.01. Set the maximum number of epochs from 5 to 500. An epoch is a full training
dataset. Train the network using architecture defined by layers, training data, training
options.
● Finally, classify the disease of the validation data using the trained network.

Residual Networks (ResNet)

ResNet, which was proposed in 2015 by researchers at Microsoft Research,

introduced a new architecture called Residual Network.

Residual Block:
In order to solve the problem of the vanishing/exploding gradient, this architecture
introduced the concept called Residual Network.
In this network we use a technique called skip connections . The skip connection skips
training from a few layers and connects directly to the output. Instead of say H(x),
initial mapping, let the network fit,

F(x) := H(x) – x which gives H(x) := F(x) + x.

17
 Fig 3.7 Residual Block [9]
Inception v3

Inception v3 is an image recognition model that has been shown to attain greater
than 78.1% accuracy on the ImageNet dataset.
The model itself is made up of symmetric and asymmetric building blocks,
including convolutions, average pooling, max pooling, concatenations, dropouts,
and fully connected layers. Batch normalization is used extensively throughout
the model and applied to activation inputs. Loss is computed using Softmax.

Fig 3.8 A high-level diagram of the model Inception v3 [11]

Neural network:

18
Neural networks are inspired by the learning process that takes place in the human brain. They
consist of an artificial network of functions called parameters that allow the computer to learn
and adapt itself by analyzing new data. Each parameter, sometimes referred to as a neuron, is a
function that produces an output after receiving one or more inputs. These outputs are then
passed to the next layer of neurons, which use them as inputs to their own function and
produce more outputs.

Conclusion and Future Scope

5.1 Conclusion

The potential benefits of in-depth dermatological study solutions are enormous and have an
unparalleled benefit in reducing duplicate activity of dermatologists and pressure on accurate
access to medical services computer science and medicine with the continuous development of
the above fields in-depth learning is rapidly developing and has become enticing. The attention
of many countries has enabled affordable software solutions that can quickly collect and
reasonably process large data and hardware that can accomplish what people can do. It is clear
that in-depth learning to diagnose skin disease is a viable option in the future.The ability to
create a general skin classification system has been investigated using CNN, Resnet, Alexnet and
Inceptionv3. CNN did much better than training data but not test data. Best accuracy can be
achieved by providing a training set with more flexibility and also by increasing its size. It has
also been found that Resnet has provided much better accuracy compared to other networks in
the diagnosis of skin diseases. Our proposed method is designed for a specific skin tone. Future
research is needed to evaluate the effect of different skin tones on the function of the lesion and
the classification system.

5.1 Future Scope

Detection of skin disease is one of the major problems in the medical industry and can be healed
and retrieved if properly diagnosed at an early point. Literature study demonstrates that different
skin disease observation techniques are being used. However, there is still a great need to
classify skin diseases at an early point. Machine learning algorithms have the potential to have an
impact on early detection of skin diseases. It can assist people make real-time adjustments to
their skin. If embraced well, the techniques will certainly provide appropriate assistance and a
unified approach to skin problems prevention. This will assist patients and physicians cure skin
diseases in a timely manner. Research and execution of limited medical information are
accessible. If more real-time data are available in the future, the detection of skin disease can be
explored with recent advances in AI and the benefits of diagnosis assisted with AI.
