A hierarchical structure based on Stacking approach for skin lesion classification

作者:

Highlights:

• The complete implementation process of an automatic system to diagnose melanoma is presented.

• Complex networks are used for the first time to analyze the lesion boundary.

• A new approach based on Stacking is presented to categorize skin lesions.

• Wrapper and filter based methods are used to remove redundant features.

• The proposed method provides better results compared to other methods proposed in other articles.
