Description
Summary:Pneumonia is an infection that is caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. It is a form of acute respiratory infection that affects the lungs and is a leading cause of death in developing countries. Pneumonia leads to one in three deaths as per WHO. However, with early detection and medication, it can be cured. Chest X-ray is one of the most common methods to detect pneumonia. Several deep learning models have been proposed to detect pneumonia using Chest X-rays, but these models come with their own set of limitations in terms of accuracy and reliability.The challenge is to find the Deep Learning method which satisfies all the standard metrics of performance.In this paper, we compared six different deep learning models like VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, ResNet152V2, MobileNetV2 and OpticNet by fine-tuning the model architecture. We replace the previously fully connected layers with newly initialized ones and subsequently training the current fully connected layers to predict our input classes. The results show that fine-tuning the pre-trained deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) proves to be effective in pneumonia detection compared to the state-of-the-art models with fewer parameters and less training data.
