Transfer Learning Based Skin Cancer Classification Using GoogLeNet

• Skin cancer has been one of the top three cancers that can be fatal when caused by broken DNA. Damaged DNA causes cells to expand uncontrollably, and the rate of growth is currently increasing rapidly. Some studies have been conducted on the computerized detection of malignancy in skin lesion images. However, due to some problematic aspects such as light reflections from the skin surface, differences in color lighting, and varying forms and sizes of the lesions, analyzing these images is extremely difficult. As a result, evidence-based automatic skin cancer detection can help pathologists improve their accuracy and competency in the early stages of the disease. In this paper, we present a transfer ring strategy based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) model for accurately classifying various types of skin lesions. Preprocessing normalizes the input photos for accurate classification; data augmentation increases the amount of images, which enhances classification rate accuracy. The performance of the GoogLeNet transfer learning model is compared to that of other transfer learning models such as Xpection, InceptionResNetVe, and DenseNet, among others. The model was tested on the ISIC dataset, and we ended up with the highest training and testing accuracy of 91.16% and 89.93%, respectively. When compared to existing transfer learning models, the final results of our proposed GoogLeNet transfer learning model characterize it as more dependable and resilient.
