IRJET - Lung Disease Prediction using Image Processing and CNN Algorithm

This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a method for predicting lung disease using image processing and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The method involves preprocessing chest x-ray images through steps like lung field segmentation, feature extraction, and then classifying the images as normal or abnormal using neural networks and support vector machines (SVMs). The researchers tested their approach on two datasets and were able to classify digital chest x-ray images into normal and abnormal categories with high accuracy. The goal of the research is to develop an automated system for early detection of lung cancer using chest x-rays, as early detection is key to better treatment outcomes.
