Deep learning enhances polarization speckle for in vivo skin cancer detection

Polarization speckle is a growing research field, especially for the purposes of biomedical imaging and diagnostics. The statistical uniformity of speckle creates novel opportunities for AI methods to analyze speckle patterns, as they are difficult for a human to interpret. We employed deep learning and traditional machine learning methods (Support Vector Machine, K Nearest Neighbor, and Random Forests) to analyze polarization speckle images...
