We present a method for skin lesion segmentation for the ISIC 2017 Skin Lesion Segmentation Challenge. Our approach is based on a Fully Convolutional Neural Network architecture which is trained end to end, from scratch, on a small dataset. Our semantic segmentation architecture utilizes several recent innovations in deep learning particularly in the combined use of (i) atrous convolutions to i...

Melanoma is the most lethal malignant tumour, and its prevalence increasing. Early detection diagnosis of skin cancer can alert patients to manage precautions dramatically improve lives people. Recently, deep learning has grown increasingly popular in extraction categorization features for effective prediction. A model learns co-adapts representations from training data point where it fails per...

We use a pretrained fully convolutional neural network to detect clinical dermoscopic features from dermoscopy skin lesion images. We reformulate the superpixel classification task as an image segmentation problem, and extend a neural network architecture originally designed for image classification to detect dermoscopic features. Specifically, we interpolate the feature maps from several layer...

We have developed advanced numerical algorithms to model biological fluids in multiscale flow environments using the software framework developed under the SciDAC APDEC ISIC. The foundation of our computational effort is an approach for modeling DNAladen fluids as “bead-rod” polymers whose dynamics are fully coupled to an incompressible viscous solvent. The method is capable of modeling short r...

An automated method to detect and analyze the melanoma is presented to improve diagnosis which will leads to the exact treatment. Image processing techniques such as segmentation, feature descriptors and classification models are involved in this method. In the First phase the lesion region is segmented using CIELAB Color space Based Segmentation. Then feature descriptors such as shape, color a...
