An automatic approach to detect skin cancer utilizing active infrared thermography by Ricardo F. Soto, Sebastián E. Godoy

“…These features were implemented in a support-vector machine classifier to detect malignancy. Notably, our method addresses a common limitation in existing approaches—manual lesion selection—by automating the process using a U-Net convolutional neural network.We validated our system by comparing U-Net's performance with expert dermatologist segmentations, achieving a 17% improvement in the Jaccard index over a semi-automatic algorithm. …”
