N2 - New habits in solar exposure have caused an important increase of melanoma cancer during the last few years. However, recent studies demonstrate that early diagnosis drastically improves the treatment of this illness. This work presents a platform called MEDIBE that helps experts to diagnose melanoma. MEDIBE is an ensemble-based reasoning system that uses two of the most important non-invasive image techniques: Reflectance Confocal Microscopy and Dermatoscopy. The combination of both image source improves the reliability of diagnosis.
