Abstract

Melanoma is highly dangerous and can spread rapidly to other parts of the body. It has an increasing fatality rate among different types of cancer. Timely detection of skin malignancies can reduce overall mortality. Therefore, clinical screening methods require more time and accuracy for diagnosis. An automated, computer-aided system would facilitate earlier melanoma detection, thereby increasing patient survival rates. This paper identifies melanoma images using a Convolutional Neural Network. Skin images are preprocessed using Histogram Equalization and Gabor transforms. A Gabor filter-based Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifier trains and classifies the extracted features. We adopt Gabor filters because they are bandpass filters that transform a pixel into a multi-resolution kernel matrix, providing detailed information about the image. This study suggests a method with accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 98.58%, 98.66%, and 98.75%, respectively. This research supports SDGs 3 and 4 by facilitating early melanoma detection and enhancing AI-driven medical education
