The HAM10000 dataset, a large collection of multi-source dermatoscopic images of common pigmented skin lesions

Training of neural networks for automated diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions is hampered by the small size and lack of diversity of available datasets of dermatoscopic images. We tackle this problem by releasing the HAM10000 ("Human Against Machine with 10000 training images") dataset. We collected dermatoscopic images from different populations acquired and stored by different modalities. Given this diversity we had to apply different acquisition and cleaning methods and developed semi-automatic workflows utilizing specifically trained neural networks. The final dataset consists of 10015 der…

BCN20000: Dermoscopic Lesions in the Wild

This article summarizes the BCN20000 dataset, composed of 19424 dermoscopic images of skin lesions captured from 2010 to 2016 in the facilities of the Hospital Clínic in Barcelona. With this dataset, we aim to study the problem of unconstrained classification of dermoscopic images of skin cancer, including lesions found in hard-to-diagnose locations (nails and mucosa), large lesions which do not fit in the aperture of the dermoscopy device, and hypo-pigmented lesions. The BCN20000 will be provided to the participants of the ISIC Challenge 2019, where they will be asked to train algorithms to c…

Frequency and Spatial domain based Saliency for Pigmented Skin Lesion Segmentation

Skin lesion segmentation can be rather a challenging task owing to the presence of artifacts, low contrast between lesion and boundary, color variegation, fuzzy skin lesion borders and heterogeneous background in dermoscopy images. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective saliency-based approach derived in the frequency and spatial domain to detect pigmented skin lesion. Two color models are utilized for the construction of these maps. We suggest a different metric for each color model to design map in the spatial domain via color features. The map in the frequency domain is generated …

Evaluation of Big Data based CNN Models in Classification of Skin Lesions with Melanoma

This chapter presents a methodology for diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions using convolutional neural networks. The architecture is based on convolu-tional neural networks and it is evaluated using new CNN models as well as re-trained modification of pre-existing CNN models were used. The experi-mental results showed that CNN models pre-trained on big datasets for gen-eral purpose image classification when re-trained in order to identify skin le-sion types offer more accurate results when compared to convolutional neural network models trained explicitly from the dermatoscopic images. The bes…

Saliency-based segmentation of dermoscopic images using color information

Skin lesion segmentation is one of the crucial steps for an efficient non-invasive computer-aided early diagnosis of melanoma. This paper investigates how color information, besides saliency, can be used to determine the pigmented lesion region automatically. Unlike most existing segmentation methods using only the saliency in order to discriminate against the skin lesion from the surrounding regions, we propose a novel method employing a binarization process coupled with new perceptual criteria, inspired by the human visual perception, related to the properties of saliency and color of the in…
