Abstract

This project introduces an Automated Skin Lesion Classification System aimed at improving early melanoma detection through advanced machine learning techniques. The system utilizes custom CNN architecture for analyzing dermoscopic images, leveraging Python-based tools like Augmentor for data augmentation and class imbalance handling. Key features include convolutional layers, pooling, and dropout layers, ensuring accurate feature extraction and overfitting prevention. A dataset of 2,357 images from ISIC was employed, achieving 84% validation accuracy. This innovation reduces diagnostic times significantly, offering near real-time insights to support dermatologists in making faster and more precise decisions, ultimately enhancing healthcare outcomes.
