Analysing dermatoscopic images plays an important role in the early detection of MM and other pigmented skin lesions. Among different computer-based methods, deep learning-based approaches and in particular convolutional neural networks have shown excellent classification and segmentation performances for dermatoscopic skin lesion images. These models can be trained end-to-end without requiring any hand-crafted features. However, the effect of using lesion segmentation information on classification performance has remained an open question. In this study, we explicitly investigated the impact of using skin lesion segmentation masks on the performance of dermatoscopic image classification. To do , first, we developed a baseline classifier as the reference model without using any segmentation masks. Then, we used either manually or automatically created segmentation masks in both training and test phases in different scenarios and invr dilated cropping), there is no significant difference of using manually or automatically created segmentation masks. We systematically explored the effects of using image segmentation on the performance of dermatoscopic skin lesion classification. We systematically explored the effects of using image segmentation on the performance of dermatoscopic skin lesion classification. Surface electromyography (sEMG) has been used for robotic rehabilitation engineering for volitional control of hand prostheses or elbow exoskeleton, however, using sEMG for volitional control of an upper limb exoskeleton has not been perfectly developed. The long-term goal of our study is to process shoulder muscle bio-electrical signals for rehabilitative robotic assistive device motion control. The purposes of this study included 1) to test the feasibility of machine learning algorithms in shoulder motion pattern recognition using sEM
