description Pneumonia remains a critical health concern worldwide, necessitating efficient diagnostic tools to enhance patient care. This research proposes a concatenated modified LeNet classifier to classify pneumonia images accurately. The model leverages deep learning techniques to improve the diagnosis of Pneumonia, leading to more effective and timely treatment. Our modified LeNet architecture incorporates a revised Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) activation function. This enhancement aims to boost the discriminative capacity of the features learned by the model. Furthermore, we integrate batch normalization to stabilize the training process and enhance performance within smaller, less complex, CNN architectures like LeNet. Batch normalization addresses internal covariate shift, a phenomenon where the distribution of activations within a network alter during training. These modifications help to prevent overfitting and decrease computational time. A comprehensive dataset is used to evaluate the model’s performance, and the model is benchmarked against relevant deep-learning models. The results demonstrate a high recognition rate, with an accuracy of 96% in pneumonia image recognition. This research suggests that the Concatenated Modified LeNet classifier has the potential to be a highly useful tool for medical professionals in the diagnosis of pneumonia. By offering accurate and efficient image classification, our model could contribute to improved treatment decisions and patient outcomes.
