Intelligent skin cancer detection using enhanced particle swarm optimization

作者:

Highlights:

• We conduct intelligent skin cancer diagnosis using dermoscopic images.

• An enhanced PSO algorithm is proposed for feature selection.

• It integrates subswarms, mutation mechanisms and dynamic matrix representations.

• It follows leaders and avoids enemies in every or randomly selected sub-dimensions.

• It outperforms other optimization methods and related research significantly.
