It has an accuracy of over 75% with an ability to classify skin dieses based on the images provided by the users and provide a detailed solution roadmap to cure the skin condition.
This AI-powered project uses deep learning to classify skin conditions from medical images. Built with a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), the model learns from thousands of labeled skin images to predict diseases accurately.
We use the HAM10000 dataset, which contains over 10,000 skin images across different categories, including:
- Melanoma (Skin cancer)
- Nevus (Moles)
- Basal cell carcinoma (BCC)
- Actinic keratosis (AK)
- Benign keratosis (BK)
- Dermatofibroma (DF)
- Vascular lesions
Before training the model, the images go through:
- Resizing – Standardizing image size for consistency 📏
- Normalization – Converting pixel values from 0–255 to 0–1 🎨
- Data Augmentation – Flipping, rotating, and zooming to improve model robustness 🔄
The model follows a CNN-based approach, which mimics how the human brain recognizes patterns.
- Convolution Layers – Detects edges, textures, and color variations 🖼️
- Pooling Layers – Reduces image size while keeping important features 📉
- Dense Layers – Processes information and predicts the final skin condition 🧠
The model is trained using supervised learning with:
- Loss Function: Categorical Crossentropy
- Optimizer: Adam (to adjust learning rates efficiently) ⚡
- Evaluation Metrics: Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1-Score 📊
👶 Child learning to identify apples: At first, they confuse apples with tomatoes 🍎🍅, but with feedback, they improve. 🧠 Similarly, our AI refines its predictions over time through backpropagation.
To measure performance, we use:
- Accuracy: Overall correctness ✅
- Confusion Matrix: Tracks classification errors 📉
- Precision & Recall: Balances between false positives & false negatives ⚖️
Once trained, the model can analyze new skin images and classify the condition. 💡 Example: Just like Google Lens identifies objects, this AI can detect skin diseases! 📸
