The accuracy and sensitivity of a Deep Learning based approach for a 2-class classifier for early melanoma detection based on skin lesion dermoscopic images increases when the classifier is trained with segmented inputs (i.e., images containing only the lesions as binary masks, without the surrounding context) instead of entire images.
