Vision-based skin disease identification using deep learning

Abstract

Skin disease is the most common health problems worldwide.Human skin is one of the difficult areas topredict. The difficulty is due to rough areas, irregular skin tones, various factors like burns, moles. We have to identify the diseases excluding these factors.In a developing country like India, it is expensive for a large number of people to go to the dermatologist for their skin disease problem.Every year a large number of population in developing countries like India suffer due to different types of skin diseases. So the need for automatic skin disease prediction is increasing for the patients and as well as the dermatologist. In this paper, a method is proposed that uses computer vision-based techniques to detectvariouskinds of dermatological skin diseases. Inception_v3, Mobilenet, Resnetare three deep learning algorithms used for feature extraction in a medical image and machine learning algorithm namely Logistic Regression is used for training and testing the medical images.Using the combined architecture of the three convolutional neural networks considerable efficiency can be achieved.
