Classification for Dermoscopy Images Using Convolutional Neural Networks Based on Region Average Pooling

In this paper, a novel melanoma classification method based on convolutional neural networks is proposed for dermoscopy images. First a region average pooling (RAPooling) method is introduced which makes feature extraction can focus on the region of interest. Then an end-to-end classification framew...
