Abstract

Skin problem is growing fast all over the country. It is one of the most common types of diseases where some can be painful and some can cause fatal to human life. Everyone should pay attention towards this alarming and emerging health problem which is spreading fast due to numerous reasons like pollution, global warming, ultraviolet rays, etc. To avoid delay in treatment, we have developed a model which will classify the disease using image dataset. The model uses the deep learning approach to get trained for classification. It works on convolutional neural network (CNN) with fine-tuned transfer learning using GoogleNet network. Using pretrained network, the model is trained to classify different skin diseases. The implementation result of training using MATLAB 2018 obtains accuracy of 96.63% with dataset of 4000 images into eight different classes.
