A novel skin cancer detection architecture using tangent rat swarm optimization algorithm enabled DenseNet.

This paper proposes a Tangent Rat Swarm Optimization (TRSO)-DenseNet for the detection of skin cancer to reduce the severity rate of cancer. Initially, the input image is pre-processed by employing a linear smoothing filter. The pre-processed image is transferred to skin lesion segmentation, where Mask-RCNN is utilized for segmenting the skin lesion.
