Abstract
The paper presents results of using a neural network classifier to analyze images of malignant skin lesions obtained using a hyper-spectral camera. Using a three-block neural network of VGG architecture, we conducted the classification of a set of two-dimensional images of melanoma, papilloma and basal cell carcinoma, obtained in the range of 530 – 570 and 600 – 606 nm, characterized by the highest absorption of melanin and hemoglobin. The sufficiency of the inclusion in the training set of two-dimensional images of a limited spectral range is analyzed. The results obtained show significant prospects of using neural network algorithms for processing hyperspectral data for the classification of skin pathologies. With a relatively small set of training data used in the study, the classification accuracy for the three types of neoplasms was as high as 96 %.
