Intelligent System for Skin Disease Prediction using Machine Learning

Abstract

Skin is an extraordinary human structure. It frequently suffered from many known and unknown disease. Therefore, diagnosis of human skin diseases is the most uncertain and complicated branch of science. It has been observed that most of the cases remain unnoticed because of the lack of better medical infrastructure and facilities. This paper is devoted to solve this challenge. Therefore, this paper effectively proposed (CNN-SVM-MAA) system which combines Convolutional Neural Network with Support Vector Machine classifier to develop a Mobile Android Application. Thus, to evaluate the performance of the proposed system several experiments are conducted on our dataset. This dataset consists around 3000 images which collected from a lot of sources like Beni-Suef University Hospital, Cairo University Hospital and various websites as well to be more accurate and realistic. A comparative study of applying different Feature extraction algorithms with different classifiers was accomplished. The results obtained showed the adequacy of the proposed (CNN-SVM-MAA) system how many skin diseases images have been detected from skin disease dataset. Which lead to detect skin disease and provide the user with the disease name and treatment related prescription with high accuracy.
