Show abstract

Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) indicate a worldwide occurrence of 2 to 3 million cases of non-melanoma skin cancer annually. The American Cancer Society estimates that the incidence reaches 5.4 million in the United States alone. In cases of fatal diseases, early detection received great attention from the population and the media due to the premise that the earlier a cancer is identified, the greater the chances of cure. It is to be believed that the application of automated methods will help in early diagnosis, especially with the set of images with a variety of diagnoses. Thus, this article presents a system for recognizing dermatological diseases through images with lesions, a machine intervention in contrast to conventional detection based on medical personnel. Our model is designed in three phases, committing to data collection and augmentation, model development, and finally, prediction. We used various AI algorithms such as ANN with image processing tools to form a better structure, leading to higher accuracy of 89%. Contactdheiver.santos@ictbridge.org, dheiver.santos@gmail.com
