A new study published on arXiv explores the impact of dermoscopic preprocessing techniques on skin lesion classification and segmentation using the YOLO26 model. The research, which controlled for data leakage by ensuring lesion-disjoint evaluation, found that minimal preprocessing combined with standard online augmentation yielded a better accuracy-efficiency trade-off than more complex offline methods. Specifically, the raw baseline achieved competitive performance metrics, while techniques like DullRazor-CLAHE did not consistently improve joint segmentation and classification accuracy. AI
