Skin Lesion Segmentation using Deep Hypercolumn Descriptors

We present a image segmentation method based on deep hypercolumndescriptors which produces state-of-the-art results for thesegmentation of several classes of benign and malignant skin lesions.We achieve a Jaccard index of 0.792 on the 2017 ISIC SkinLesion Segmentation Challenge dataset.
