PoXeptionNet: Accelerating Pox Disease Identification Using a Dual Neural Network Fusing Xception and EfficientNetB0 Architectures

Project Code :TCMAPY2422

Objective

This project aims to develop two hybrid deep learning models, PoXeptionNet-Attn and PoxNetPlus_DensSwi, by combining Xception, EfficientNetB0, DenseNet121, and Swin Transformer architectures to extract and refine features from skin lesion images for accurate disease classification. The project involves preparing a dataset of Chickenpox, Cowpox, HFMD, Measles, Monkeypox, and Healthy skin lesions through preprocessing steps like resizing, normalization, and augmentation. The models will be trained and optimized using techniques such as learning rate adjustment, early stopping, and model checkpointing to ensure high performance and prevent overfitting. After training, the models will be evaluated using accuracy, confusion matrix, and classification report to measure their classification ability. A web-based application will be developed using the Flask framework, allowing healthcare professionals to upload skin lesion images for disease classification. The system will be scalable to handle large datasets and user-friendly for healthcare professionals to interact with easily. Future work will focus on improving the models by integrating additional disease classification models, fine-tuning existing ones, and incorporating explainable AI techniques for better interpretability of predictions.

Abstract

This project focuses on automating the identification and classification of pox diseases from skin lesion images using deep learning. It integrates two powerful models, PoXeptionNet-Attn and PoxNetPlus_DensSwi, to improve the accuracy and efficiency of disease detection. PoXeptionNet-Attn fuses the Xception and EfficientNetB0 architectures with an attention mechanism, enabling the model to focus on important features in skin lesions. PoxNetPlus_DensSwi, on the other hand, combines DenseNet121 and Swin Transformer to capture both global and local features, refining the model's feature extraction process. The dataset used for this project includes images of Chickenpox, Cowpox, HFMD, Measles, Monkeypox, and Healthy skin lesions. The system is developed using the Flask framework, allowing it to be deployed as a web-based application for healthcare professionals. By automating the disease identification process, this project aims to reduce the reliance on manual examination, improving diagnosis speed and accuracy. The results of this system are evaluated using standard metrics such as accuracy, confusion matrix, and classification report.
