METHOD FOR DETECTING SKIN CANCER AND APPARATUS USING THE SAME

According to the present invention, a method for detecting skin cancer is provided. The method comprises: a step in which a computing device divides an n-dimensional image corresponding to a search target into a plurality of patches and flattens the plurality of patches in a column-wise manner to generate an n-1 dimensional vector; a step in which the computing device performs an embedding operation in the D dimension using an embedding matrix (E) for each of the plurality of patches included in the vector and adds a position matrix (Epos) to a resulting value of the operation to generate a plurality of embedded patches; a step in which the computing device performs an operation on the plurality of embedded patches in a transformer encoder including a layer norm operation, a multi-head attention operation, and a multilayer perceptron (MLP) operation; and a step in which the computing device determines whether the image contains skin cancer using the result of the transformer encoder. According to the present invention, there is an effect of utilizing a vision transformer based on image data..
