Detection of Various Lung Diseases Including Covid-19 Using A Lightweight CNN Architecture

Project Code :TMMAAI350

Objective

The objective of this study is to develop a lightweight CNN model for efficient, accurate classification of lung diseases like COVID-19 and pneumonia from chest X-rays, optimizing real-time diagnosis capability.

Abstract

The detection of various lung diseases, including COVID-19, has become increasingly important due to the global impact of respiratory disorders. This study proposes a novel approach utilizing a lightweight Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture for feature extraction and classification. The CNN model efficiently captures key spatial features from chest X-ray images, ensuring low computational cost while maintaining high accuracy. These extracted features are fed into the classifier, which is known for its fast learning speed and generalization ability. The proposed method is evaluated on publicly available datasets of lung diseases, demonstrating its effectiveness in distinguishing between COVID-19, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and other lung conditions. Experimental results indicate that the hybrid CNN model achieves competitive classification performance with a significant reduction in processing time, making it a viable solution for real-time medical diagnosis.

Keywords: Lung disease, COVID- 19, Convolutional Neural Network, X-ray images.
