Abstract
The Mpox contagion is an orthopoxvirus that causes Mpox( Mpox), a
complaint with symptoms analogous to smallpox, although less severe.
Mpox( Mpox) is a viral complaint that affects humans and creatures
causing a rash and skin lesions in humans and creatures. The
identification and opinion of Mpox lesions are important for the proper
treatment and operation of the complaint. Due to the effect of Covid
outbreak which effected human life, rearmost start of Mpox has now
become a cause of concern for healthcare providers all over the world.
So we need to have prior thinking or early analysis to slow down the
progression and spread of Mpox. In this study, we used the Convolutional
Neural Network( CNN) models to classify Mpox skin lesion images into
different orders. The dataset used for detecting Mpox has been given by
the CSE Department, Islamic University, Kushtia- 7003, Bangladesh. We
employed the Mpox skin lension dataset intimately available from Kaggle(
770 images). This skin lension dataset consists of four classes similar
as Mpox, Chickenpox, Measles, and Normal skin images. In the coming
step, several pre-trained deep literacy models, videlicet, VGG- 16, VGG-
19, ResNet50V2, ResNet101V2, Xception, DenseNet121, and MobileNetV2 to
identify the most accurate model for classifying the images. We also
performed data addition ways, including gyration, zooming, and flipping,
to increase the size of the training dataset and ameliorate the model’s
conception capability. Xception achieves the best overall accuracy of
89.24%, while DenseNet121 achieved Test accuracy : 87.34%, ResNet101V2
achieved Test accuracy of 84.17%, ResNet50V2 achieved Test accuracy of
87.34%, MobileNetV2 achieved Test accuracy of 86.07%, VGG-16 achieved
Test accuracy of 82.27%, VGG-19 achieved Test accuracy of 81.01%
respectively. Although the preliminary results obtained from the limited
dataset are encouraging, a more diverse dataset covering a wider
demographic is needed to improve the models generalizability.
