Three classes of lesions:
Malignant Melanoma: Melanoma, also known as malignant melanoma, is the most common type of skin cancer and arises from pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes. Melanomas typically appear on the skin and rarely in other locations such as the mouth, intestines, or eye.
Seborrheic Keratosis: Seborrheic keratosis is a non-cancerous (benign) skin tumor that originates in the cells of the outer layer of the skin (keratinocytes), making it a non-melanocytic lesion.
Benign Nevus (Mole): A benign skin tumor originating from melanocytes (melanocytic).
The dataset has been obtained from the 'International Skin Imaging Collaboration' (ISIC) archive. It contains 2750 images divided into 3 sets:
Training Set: 2000 images
Validation Set: 150 images
Test Set: 600 images
For each clinical case, we have two images available:
Dermoscopic image of the lesion (in the 'images' folder).
Binary mask with segmentation between lesion (mole) and skin (in the 'masks' folder).
Additionally, there is a CSV file for each dataset (training, validation, and test), where each row corresponds to a clinical case, defined with two fields separated by commas:
The numeric id of the lesion: which allows defining the paths to the files containing the image and the mask.
The label of the lesion: available only for training and validation, being an integer between 0 and 2: 0: benign nevus, 1: malignant melanoma, 2: seborrheic keratosis. In the case of the test set, labels are not available (their value is -1).
