Popis
Abstrakt:Recently, there has been a rise in skin cancer cases, for which early detection is highly relevant, as it increases the likelihood of a cure. In this context, this work presents a benchmarking study of standard Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures for automated skin lesion classification. A total of 38 CNN architectures from ten families (ConvNeXt, DenseNet, EfficientNet, Inception, InceptionResNet, MobileNet, NASNet, ResNet, VGG, and Xception) were evaluated using transfer learning on the HAM10000 dataset for seven-class skin lesion classification, namely, actinic keratoses, basal cell carcinoma, benign keratosis-like lesions, dermatofibroma, melanoma, melanocytic nevi, and vascular lesions. The comparative analysis used standardized training conditions, with all models utilizing frozen pre-trained weights. Cross-database validation was then conducted using the ISIC 2019 dataset to assess generalizability across different data distributions. The ConvNeXtXLarge architecture achieved the best performance, despite having one of the lowest performance-to-number-of-parameters ratios, with 87.62% overall accuracy and 76.15% F1 score on the test set, demonstrating competitive results within the established performance range of existing HAM10000-based studies. A proof-of-concept multiplatform mobile application was also implemented using a client–server architecture with encrypted image transmission, demonstrating the viability of integrating high-performing models into healthcare screening tools.
