Pneumonia Detection on X-rays Image using YOLOv8 Model
Abstract
Pneumonia is an acute inflammatory disease of lung tissue. It is usually caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses. The young children are particularly vulnerable to this illness. Report in 2019 shows that pneumonia kills almost 2,000 children under the age of five every day worldwide and affects over 800,000 children under the age of five annually. Analyzing the chest X-ray results of the patient's body is one method of diagnosing pneumonia. Therefore, this research was done to deploy a deep learning to identify the healthy and pneumonia affected lungs from chest X-ray images in order to aid in the diagnosing process. This research was done by using 2000- chest X-ray dataset—of which 1500 pneumonia lung data and 500 normal lung data. The computer vision model YOLOv8 is used in this study. The accuracy results from the training process were 56.15% in the pneumonia class and 92.03% in the normal class. Wether in the testing process yielded an average value of 0.482 (48, 2%) for the pneumonia class and 0.675 (67,5%) for the normal class. From these results, there are promising possibilities for developing a pneumonia detection system using YOLO in the future.Downloads
