Abstract :
The VGG 16 model is a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture proposed by the Visual Geometry Group (VGG) at the University of Oxford. It is characterized by its depth, consisting of 16 layers, including 13 convolutional layers and 3 fully connected layers. VGG 16 is known for its simplicity and effectiveness, as well as its ability to achieve strong performance on various computer vision tasks, including image classification and object recognition. The model’s architecture features a stack of convolutional layers followed by max pooling layers, with progressively increasing depth. This design allows the model to recognize and understand complex visual features, resulting in highly accurate predictions. In the context of skin disease detection, VGG 16 has demonstrated notable success in accurately classifying and identifying dermatological conditions from medical images. The model uses a powerful technique to identify detailed visual features like texture and colour differences in skin images, which helps it accurately diagnose skin diseases, even those that are difficult to detect with the naked eye. The model can differentiate between various skin conditions like melanoma, skin cancer, and eczema, making it a valuable tool for doctors to diagnose skin diseases accurately. This can help in early detection, which is crucial for effective treatment. When trained on large, datasets of skin images, VGG 16 can provide high diagnostic accuracy, thus enhancing early detection and facilitating timely medical intervention in dermatology.
