Abstract
Skin Cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. A solution for this globally recognized health problem is much required. Machine Learning techniques have brought revolutionary changes in the field of biomedical researches. Previously, It took a significant amount of time and much effort in detecting skin cancers. In recent years, many works have been done with Deep Learning which made the process a lot faster and much more accurate. In this paper, We have proposed a novel Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) based approach that can classify four different types of Skin Cancer. We have developed our model SkNet consisting of 19 convolution layers. In previous works, the highest accuracy gained on 1000 images was 80.52%. Our proposed model exceeded that previous performance and achieved an accuracy of 95.26% on a dataset of 4800 images which is the highest acquired accuracy.
