Melanoma, a life-threatening form of skin cancer caused by DNA damage from ultraviolet radiation, poses a significant health risk. Early detection plays a critical role in successful treatment outcomes. In this paper, we present a novel approach for the detection of melanoma skin cancer using image processing techniques and transfer learning. Our proposed method aims to improve accuracy compared to existing state-of-the-art techniques. We conducted extensive experiments using the publicly available MED-NODE skin cancer dataset, which comprises high-resolution skin lesion images. Our approach leverages image processing algorithms to extract relevant features and employs transfer learning with pre-trained models to enhance classification performance. By fine-tuning a pre-trained model specifically VGG19, we capitalize on the learned representations from a large dataset like ImageNet. The results of our experiments demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach, exhibiting an impressive improvement of approximately 10% in accuracy compared to existing methods. The validation of our approach using the MED-NODE skin cancer dataset further strengthens its effectiveness in melanoma detection.
