This paper introduces an automated system comparing VGG16 and ResNet50 for dermatoscopic image processing and classification. This method utilized transfer learning and fine-tuning VGG16 and ResNet50 using the HAM10000 dataset. Random resampling balanced the dataset, optimizing models for accurate results with limited resources. We preprocessed images, performed data augmentation, modified the pre-existing models, and tuned the hyperparameters to increase the overall accuracy of both the models. Results demonstrate VGG16 and ResNet50 achieving 93.45% and 94.69% accuracy, respectively, showcasing the effectiveness of the proposed system in advancing early skin cancer intervention with deep learning techniques. Time comparison shows that VGG16 is 4 times faster than the other indicating the time-complexity of ResNet50 when skin lesion images are used for training.
