Abstract
This study presents a new method to improve the detection ability of a convolutional neural network (CNN) in pneumonia detection using chest X-ray images. Using Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) analysis, additional channels are added to the original image data provided by Guangzhou Children's Hospital in Guangzhou, China. The main goal is to design a lightweight, fully convolution network and increase its available information using GLCM. Performance analysis is performed on the new CNN model and GLCM-enhanced CNN model, and results are compared with Transfer Learning approaches. Various evaluation metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and AUC-ROC, are used to evaluate the improved analysis performance of CNN. The results showed a significant increase in the ability of the model to detect pneumonia, with an accuracy of 99.57%. In addition, the study evaluates the descriptive properties of the CNN model by analyzing its decision process using Grad-CAM.
