Maintenance Notice

Due to necessary scheduled maintenance, the JMIR Publications website will be unavailable from Wednesday, July 01, 2020 at 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM EST. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Who will be affected?

Previously submitted to: JMIR Dermatology (no longer under consideration since Nov 03, 2023)

Date Submitted: Jul 17, 2023
Open Peer Review Period: Jul 17, 2023 - Sep 11, 2023
(closed for review but you can still tweet)

NOTE: This is an unreviewed Preprint

Warning: This is a unreviewed preprint (What is a preprint?). Readers are warned that the document has not been peer-reviewed by expert/patient reviewers or an academic editor, may contain misleading claims, and is likely to undergo changes before final publication, if accepted, or may have been rejected/withdrawn (a note "no longer under consideration" will appear above).

Peer review me: Readers with interest and expertise are encouraged to sign up as peer-reviewer, if the paper is within an open peer-review period (in this case, a "Peer Review Me" button to sign up as reviewer is displayed above). All preprints currently open for review are listed here. Outside of the formal open peer-review period we encourage you to tweet about the preprint.

Citation: Please cite this preprint only for review purposes or for grant applications and CVs (if you are the author).

Final version: If our system detects a final peer-reviewed "version of record" (VoR) published in any journal, a link to that VoR will appear below. Readers are then encourage to cite the VoR instead of this preprint.

Settings: If you are the author, you can login and change the preprint display settings, but the preprint URL/DOI is supposed to be stable and citable, so it should not be removed once posted.

Submit: To post your own preprint, simply submit to any JMIR journal, and choose the appropriate settings to expose your submitted version as preprint.

Warning: This is an author submission that is not peer-reviewed or edited. Preprints - unless they show as "accepted" - should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.

ABSTRACT

Background:

The deadliest skin cancer is melanoma. Early detection of melanoma increases the chances of survival. Because early detection of melanoma is important to reduce mortality, many computer-assisted diagnostic methods for detecting melanoma have been proposed in the literature. This article details the current state of research on melanoma detection using computer-aided diagnosis.

Objective:

The aim of this review is to summarize and compare advanced dermoscopic algorithms used for classification of skin lesion and to notify important issues affecting the classification procedure.

Methods:

This systematic review was conducted using the latest statistical data and by reading and analyzing several scientific papers on the subject. The datasets used, in conjunction with the use of the best performance evaluation approach, help us to obtain good results. This is done after comparisons and comparisons based on the entire detection process.

Results:

The main finding of this paper is to testify how the three building blocks (dataset, detection techniques, and evaluation methods) used to arrive at a better result for detecting melanoma successfully.

Conclusions:

The outcomes of this review is to indicate a procedures of detecting techniques and parameter selection for evaluating the degree of classifying and detecting a given skin lesion successfully, especially at its earliest stage.
