Klasifikasi Penyakit Kanker Kulit Menggunakan Metode Convolutional Neural Network (Studi Kasus: Melanoma)

Skin cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers worldwide, especially in the white population. One of the most dangerous skin diseases is melanoma cancer. Melanoma is a skin cancer that can develop in melanocytes, the skin pigment cells that produce melanin. Melanin is what absorbs ultraviolet rays and protects the skin from damage. Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that is rare and very dangerous, many laypeople have not been able to distinguish between ordinary moles and melanoma. Therefore, a study on the classification of melanoma skin cancer was carried out using the CNN method, where CNN was able to classify melanoma images. In CNN itself there is an architectural model, while the architecture used in this research is using conv2d layer, max pooling, flatten, dense, dropout, and using ReLu activation. The image size used in this architecture is 128x128, at the 50th epoch, an accuracy rate of 92.64% is obtained. It is hoped that this research can help the community in distinguishing normal moles and melanoma cancer.
