Abstract
Skin Cancer is one of the most common cancer forms in many countries, it is considered to be one of the dangerous types in the sense that it is lethal and its occurrence over time has been dramatically high. It is one of the deadliest cancers among all diseases and has a large rate of mortality. The efficiency of the earlier approaches to assess one of the most hazardous melanoma diagnosis in dermoscopic criteria are not up to the mark. Therefore, in this research, the work has been carried out in three stages in order to detect melanoma in an efficient manner. In the first stage, prior to the implementation of the image segmentation technique, noise elimination and pre-processing steps are carried out to remove the noise and to achieve better execution results. This segmentation model focuses on the separation of the interesting portions from the background and collects the necessary information from the neighboring pixels of the same category. Gaussian analytical patterns are used to handle the heterogeneous regions/sections of dermoscopy images whose mean and variance can be dynamic. In addition, the third stage of work is based on the texture classification, which is proposed as the CSTC-Mel Identification Model.
