Abstract

Skin cancer is one of the diseases which lead to death if not detected at an early stage. Computer-aided detection and diagnosis systems are designed for its early diagnosis which may prevent biopsy and use of dermoscopic tools. Numerous researches have considered this problem and achieved good results. In automatic diagnosis of skin cancer through computer-aided system, feature extraction and reduction plays an important role. The purpose of this research is to develop computer-aided detection and diagnosis systems for classifying a lesion into cancer or non-cancer owing to the usage of precise feature extraction technique. This paper proposed the fusion of bag-of-feature method with speeded up robust features for feature extraction and quadratic support vector machine for classification. The proposed method shows the accuracy of 85.7%, sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 60% and training time of 0.8507 s in classifying the lesion. The result and analysis of experiments are done on the PH2 dataset of skin cancer. Our method improves performance accuracy with an increase of 3% than other state-of-the-art methods.
