Lentigo detection using a deep learning approach

Abstract

Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) allows fast data acquisition with a high resolution of the skin. In fact, RCM images are becoming more and more used for lentigo diagnosis. In this paper, we propose a new classification method to automate specific steps in lentigo diagnosis. Our method is based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) on InceptionV3 architecture combined with data augmentation and transfer learning. The experimental validation showed the efficiency of our model by reaching an accuracy of 98.14%.
