AI-Powered Skin Cancer Classification : Computer Vision

Built with Python

This project tackles the critical challenge of early skin cancer detection. By leveraging deep learning techniques, specifically the DenseNet121 architecture, I developed a computer vision model capable of accurately classifying various types of skin cancer based on medical images.

Early Detection: Accelerate the diagnosis process, potentially reducing the time from initial consultation to biopsy results.

Improved Accuracy: Enhance diagnostic accuracy by leveraging a robust deep learning model trained on a diverse dataset of skin lesions.

Reduced Human Error: Minimize the risk of misdiagnosis through the use of a reliable AI-powered classification tool.

Enhanced Patient Outcomes: Contribute to better patient outcomes by enabling early intervention and targeted treatment.

DenseNet121: Implemented a deep convolutional neural network known for its effectiveness in image classification tasks.

Data Preprocessing: Processed and augmented the dataset to ensure diversity and improve model performance.

Model Training & Validation: Trained the model on a large dataset of skin lesion images, rigorously validating its accuracy and generalizability.

This project demonstrates the potential of deep learning in the medical field, offering a promising solution for early skin cancer detection. The resulting model has the potential to streamline diagnostic workflows, improve accuracy, and ultimately save lives by enabling timely intervention.
