Convolutional Neural Network as an Image Processing Technique for Classification of Bacilli Tuberculosis Extra Pulmonary (TBEP) Disease

Abstract

Tuberculosis Extra Pulmonary (TBEP) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis and can cause death. Patients suffering from this disease must be treated quickly without waiting for a long time. Biopsy is one of the techniques used to take the patient's lung fluid and given Ziehl Neelsen chemical dye and then observed using a microscope to determine this TBEP disease. In this research, the TBEP detection process was developed using a classification method, namely CNN with feature extraction and feature selection. The feature uses 5 features where these features are a combination of shape features and texture features with the highest information gain value. From the results of research conducted through the training and testing stages of the classification method using feature selection, the accuracy rate is higher than not using feature selection with a comparison of the feature selection stage increasing 0.6536% for the training process, and 0.8942% for the testing process.
