Remarks

Reference

CNN

90.0

Skin diseases can be diagnosed and classified using the same CNN technique

[31]

InceptionV2, InceptionV3, MobileNet

88.0

Recommended for mobiles and embedded applications as MobileNet is light weight architecture and fast model

[30]

CNN, VGG-16 model

88.0

The accuracy of the system can be improved by increasing the size of dataset and new deep neural network models can also be considered

[29]

Image processing, SVM

90.0

The system can be extended for classifying other diseases

[28]

CNN using TensorFlow

75.2

The system can be implemented in android device using Tensorflow lite

[27]

Deep CNN in addition to GoogleNet

94.9

The model are able to detect images that do not belong to the eight used classes (classified as unknown images)

[22]

Neural and fuzzy approach

94.5

The proposed method improves the performance by 4.9%

[23]

Otsu algorithm, Alex and VGG-16 model

99.0

Better results were achieved compared to existing methods

[24]

Deep CNN

91.9

The used model is more reliable and robust compared with existing transfer learning models

[25]

CNN, Random Forest, KNN, Single-layered perceptron

93.6-97.9

The proposed method can perform several routine pathologist tasks
