Abstract
This article describes the design, implementation, and results of the latest
installment of the dermoscopic image analysis benchmark challenge. The goal is
to support research and development of algorithms for automated diagnosis of
melanoma, the most lethal skin cancer. The challenge was divided into 3 tasks:
lesion segmentation, feature detection, and disease classification.
Participation involved 593 registrations, 81 pre-submissions, 46 finalized
submissions (including a 4-page manuscript), and approximately 50 attendees,
making this the largest standardized and comparative study in this field to
date. While the official challenge duration and ranking of participants has
concluded, the dataset snapshots remain available for further research and
development.
