SKIN CANCER DETECTION USING MATLAB AND IMAGE PROCESSING TOOLSBOX

Skin cancer is one of the most popular types of cancer, which inspires the life of millions of people every year in the entire world. Melanoma is one of the forms of cancer that initiates in melanocytes and it can influence the skin only. It’s more serious as compare with other types of skin cancer. The Melanoma can be of benign or malignant. The paper focused on detection system has been designed for diagnosing melanoma in early stages by using digital image processing techniques. The paper has many steps like preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and detection process which give the acceptable results for skin cancer detection problem
