Abstract

One of the leading causes of death among people around the world is skin cancer. It is critical to identify and classify skin cancer early to assist patients in taking the right course of action. Additionally, melanoma, one of the main skin cancer illnesses, is curable when detected and treated at an early stage. More than 75% of fatalities worldwide are related to skin cancer. A novel Artificial Golden Eagle-based Random Forest (AGEbRF) is created in this study to predict skin cancer cells at an early stage. Dermoscopic images are used in this instance as the dataset for the system's training. Additionally, the dermoscopic image information is processed using the established AGEbRF function to identify and segment the skin cancer-affected area. Additionally, this approach is simulated using a Python program, and the current research's parameters are assessed against those of earlier studies. The results demonstrate that, compared to other models, the new research model produces better accuracy for predicting skin cancer by segmentation.
