CNN Based Pneumonia Detection Model with Ensemble Methods Using Chest X-Ray Images
摘要
The importance of rapid and accurate diagnostic tools for pneumonia is still very important, given that pneumonia is leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. Therefore, a stacking deep learning ensemble system built on top of VGG16 convolutional neural networks is developed for podiatric chest X-ray pneumonia classification. The inputs of the XGBoost metal earner are deep features extracted by VGG16 from pre-processed images (resized, normalized, and augmented). Finally, on a collected set of 5,863 images, the stacking model reaches 99.68% accuracy and 0.998 AUC-ROC better than individual CNN baselines. It is comparatively analysed to some of the recent literature and is seen to provide better diagnostic precision. The results prove the feasibility of employing AI based automated detection tools in early pneumonia. Further work in real time clinical deployment, integration of multimodal medical data, and interpretability as well computational efficiency will be performed.
