Pneumonia Detector: Development of a Deep Learning-Based Pneumonia Detection System Using Chest X-ray Images

In this project, we propose a deep learning-based approach for the automatic detection of pneumonia from chest X-ray images using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The proposed system leverages the Xception architecture as a feature extractor combined with a custom classification head, data preprocessing, augmentation, and Grad-CAM visualization to localize the affected regions.
