Introduction #
To address the challenges of training neural networks for automated diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions, the authors introduced the HAM10000 (“Human Against Machine with 10000 training images”) dataset. This dataset aimed to overcome the limitations of small-sized and homogeneous dermatoscopic image datasets by providing a diverse and extensive collection. To achieve this, they collected dermatoscopic images from various populations using different modalities, which necessitated employing distinct acquisition and cleaning methods. The authors also designed semi-automatic workflows that incorporated specialized neural networks to enhance the dataset’s quality. The resulting HAM10000 dataset comprised 10,015 dermatoscopic images, which were made available for academic machine learning applications through the ISIC archive. This dataset served as a benchmark for machine learning experiments and comparisons with human experts.
Dermatoscopy, a diagnostic technique for pigmented skin lesions, offers improved diagnostic accuracy compared to unaided visual examination. The authors noted that dermatoscopic images could be employed to train artificial neural networks for automated diagnosis. While previous attempts had shown promise, their effectiveness was limited by small sample sizes and a lack of diversity in dermatoscopic images. Recent advancements in machine learning and graphics card capabilities indicated the potential for comprehensive automated diagnostic systems, capable of diagnosing various pigmented skin lesions without human intervention.
Historically, available datasets were primarily focused on melanocytic lesions and disregarded non-melanocytic pigmented lesions, despite their prevalence in clinical practice. This discrepancy between training data and real-world scenarios contributed to moderate performance in clinical settings despite favorable results in controlled experiments. The authors recognized the need for a dataset that encompassed a broader range of lesions, leading to the release of the HAM10000 dataset. While initially developed for the ISIC 2018 classification challenge, this dataset was also made accessible to other research groups for further exploration.
The HAM10000 dataset contained 10,015 dermatoscopic images collected over two decades from diverse sources, including the Department of Dermatology at the Medical University of Vienna, Austria, and a skin cancer practice in Queensland, Australia. The authors highlighted their use of various formats to store images and metadata, given the evolution of image storage technologies over time. For instance, images from the Vienna site were initially stored as diapositives and later digitized.
To ensure dataset quality, the authors introduced an automated method to categorize images based on image type. This approach utilized a trained InceptionV3 neural network to classify images as overviews, close-ups, or dermatoscopy images. This method significantly expedited the process of selecting dermatoscopic images for the dataset. The authors also unified histopathologic diagnoses to form seven generic classes that covered the majority of pigmented lesions encountered in clinical practice.
Finally, a manual quality review was conducted to eliminate cases that didn’t meet predefined criteria. This step involved filtering out close-up and overview images, removing images with identifiable content, and ensuring image quality and content alignment with the dataset’s purpose.
Note, that presented dataset is a modification of the original HAM10000 dataset.
Summary #
Skin Cancer: HAM10000 is a dataset for a semantic segmentation task. It is used in the medical research. The dataset presented here is not the original one. Learn more on the dataset’s homepage.
The dataset consists of 10015 images with 10013 labeled objects belonging to 7 different classes including melanocytic nevi, melanoma, benign keratosis-like lesions, and other: basal cell carcinoma, actinic keratoses, vascular lesions, and dermatofibroma.
Images in the Skin Cancer: HAM10000 dataset have pixel-level semantic segmentation annotations. There are 2 (0% of the total) unlabeled images (i.e. without annotations). There are no pre-defined train/val/test splits in the dataset. The dataset was released in 2021 by the ViDIR Group in Medical University of Vienna, Austria and University of Queensland, Austria.
Here are the visualized examples for the classes:
