Abstract

This chapter explains the practical application of computer vision and convolutional neural networks for breast and skin cancer realization and segmentation. In it, you’ll explore an approach to filtering medical scans by applying canny, luplican, and sobel filters. You’ll also ascertain the extent to which the networks accurately differentiate scans of patients with and without cancer.
