Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (pages 52-53). Each year, millions of people around the world are affected by cancer. Research shows that the early and accurate diagnosis of cancerous growths can have a major effect on improving mortality rates from cancer. As human diagnosis is prone to error, a deep-learning based computerized diagnostic system should be considered. In our research, we tackled the issues caused by difficulties in diagnosing skin cancer and distinguishing between different types of skin growths, especially without the use of advanced medical equipment and a high level of medical expertise of the diagnosticians. To do so, we have implemented a system that will use a deep-learning approach to be able to detect skin cancer from digital images. This paper discusses the identification of cancer from 7 different types of skin lesions from images using CNN with Keras Sequential API. We have used the publicly available HAM10000 dataset, obtained from the Harvard Dataverse. This dataset contains 10,015 labeled images of skin growths. We applied multiple data pre-processing methods after reading the data and before training our model. For accuracy checks and as a means of comparison we have pre-trained data, using ResNet50, DenseNet121, and VGG11, some well-known transfer learning models. This helps identify better methods of machine-learning application in the field of skin growth classification for skin cancer detection. Our model achieved an accuracy of over 97% in the proper identification of the type of skin growth. Ashfaqul Islam Daiyan Khan Rakeen Ashraf Chowdhury B.
