Abstrakt: In recent years, convolutional neural networks had a wide impact in the fields of medical image processing. Image semantic segmentation and image classification have been the main challenges in this field. These two techniques have been seeing a lot of improvement in medical surgeries which are being carried out by robots and autonomous machines. This work will be working on a convolutional model to detect pneumonia in a given chest x-ray scan. In addition to the convolution model, the proposed model consists of deep separable convolution kernels which replace few convolutional layers; one main advantage is these take in a smaller number of parameters and filters. The described model will be more efficient, robust, and fine-tuned than previous models developed using convolutional neural networks. The authors also benchmarked the present model with the CheXnet model, which almost predicts over 16 abnormalities in the given chest-x-rays.
