Abstract- Skin cancer is caused due to unusual development of skin cells and deadly type cancer. Early diagnosis is very significant and can avoid some categories of skin cancers, such as melanoma and focal cellcar cinoma. The recognition and the classification of skin malignant growth in the beginning time is expensiveand challenging. The deep learning architectures such as recurrent networks and convolutional neural networks (ConvNets) are developed in the past, which are proven appropriate for non-handcrafted extraction of complex features. To additional expand the efficiency of the ConvNet models, a cascaded ensembled network that uses an integration of ConvNet and handcrafted features based multi-layer perceptron is proposed in thiswork. This offered model utilizes the convolutional neural network model to mine non-handcrafted image features and colour moments and texture features as handcrafted features. It is demonstrated that accuracy ofensembled deep learning model is improved to 98.3% from 85.3% of convolutional neural network model.
Keywords: Project discusses skin lesion colour moment features, texture features, convolution neural network, proposed methodology and image dataset.
