Abstract

Skin cancer is a severe disease and is often ignored by the people at an early stage. Early detection of melanoma or other skin lesions with the help of dermoscopy images increases the survival rate.Analysis of skin lesion technique still experiences some challenges due to unique features of skin lesion images. This paper reviews the deep learning techniques that have been used for detecting different types of skin lesions. The topics include image preprocessing, image segmentation, feature extraction and classification on dermoscopy images of skin lesions. Deep learning techniques with well preprocessed and segmented lesion images shows better classification of skin lesion images.
