contents This paper introduces a set of cepstrum-based texture features for melanoma classification and validates their performance on dermoscopic images from the ISIC 2019 dataset. We propose applying gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) statistics to 2D cepstral representations, a novel approach in image analysis. Combined with established handcrafted lesion descriptors, these features were evaluated using XGBoost models. Incorporating select cepstral features improved the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, accuracy, and F1 score for binary melanoma vs. nevus classification. Results suggest that cepstral GLCM features offer complementary discriminatory information for melanoma detection.
