hybSVM: Bacterial colony optimization algorithm based SVM for malignant melanoma detection

Malignant melanoma is the deadliest type of skin cancer. If melanoma detection and diagnosis is performed in its early stages, the probabilities of recovery and survival are higher. Dermoscopy is a manual method which is applied by doctors to diagnose this disease, but it strongly depends on the experience of the specialist who performs this skin assessment. Although, many proposals have been made for automated detection and diagnosis of malignant melanoma based on images processing, there are still improvement opportunities for melanoma diagnosis. This paper aims to identify the current status of the latest researches related to techniques for malignant melanoma diagnosis based on images analysis, considering the three research questions that have been elaborated for the systematic literature review: Q1) Which are the latest methods for malignant melanoma detection? Q2) Which systems for malignant melanoma diagnosis have been implemented in the last 5 years? And Q3) Which CAD systems for malignant melanoma detection have been developed? Furthermore, a cross-analysis of the outcome was performed. The results propose the implementation of systems using Inception V3 and the classifier Support Vector Machine, which achieved high accuracies in malignant melanoma diagnosis based on images processing.

Researches on applications of mobile devices bring wide variety of uses in healthcare. One such work focus on detection of malignant melanoma using mobile image analysis. Dermoscopy is one of a current use, but need a special expertise for the detection of cancer melanoma. The image taken using smartphone is used for this purpose. It mainly focus on localization of the skin lesion by combining fast skin detection and fusion of two fast segmentation results. This also introduces some set of image features and to capture color variation and border irregularity which are useful for smartphone-captured images. It propose a new feature selection criterion to select a small set of good features used in the final lightweight system. The method introduces a new module for the detection of distorted images such as motion blur and alert users in such situations. The blurred image undergo deblurring to detect the correct result. The result of this application will identify whether the image is malignant melanoma or benign with their intensity value from smartphone captured images used.
