Abstract :Classification of skin diseases is a important isssue for early diagnosis and treatment. The process of determining the disease by the specialist physician also delays the treatment process to be applied to the patient. Computer-aided diagnosis systems play an important role in early diagnosis and initiation of treatment by minimizing such processes. In this study, high-performance classification of skin lesions was performed by using Deep Learning models. Dataset was ISIC data set, dataset were expanded by using data augmentation techniques. In the images in this dataset, there are images of Actinic Keratosis, Dermatofibroma, Pigmented Benign Keratosis, Seborrheic Keratosis, Vascular Lesion skin diseases. The data set was classified by Deep Learning models by using the supervised learning method.. SequeezeNet, AlexNet, GoogleNet, Vgg-19, ResNet101, DenseNet201, ResNet-50, ResNet-18, Vgg-16 DL models were used for classification. To evaluate of classification success of Deep Learning models, confusion matrix and F1-score, precision, sensitivity and accuracy metrics obtained from the matrix were used. According to the F1-score, the most successful model is Vgg16 with 97.41%, while the highest accuracy rate obtained by ResNet18 with 98.06%. High success rate shows that such systems can be used for diagnosis and treatment processes.
