Monkeypox Detection using CSA Based K-Means Clustering with Swin Transformer Model

Abstract

Despite the global COVID-19 pandemic, public health professionals are also concerned about a possible new monkeypox epidemic. Similar to vaccinia, cowpox, and variola, the orthopoxvirus that causes monkeypox has two strands that are double-stranded. Many people have propagated the current pandemic through sexual means, particularly those who identify as bisexual or gay. The speed with which monkeypox was detected is the most important element here. In order to catch monkeypox before it infects more people, machine learning could be a huge help in making a quick and accurate diagnosis. Finding a solution is the driving force behind this project, which aims to develop a model for detecting monkeypox using deep learning and image processing. For optimal cluster selection during photo segmentation, the Chameleon Swarm Algorithm (CSA) employs K-means clustering. Examining the accuracy with which the Swin Transformer model identified instances of monkeypox was the driving force for this study. The proposed techniques are evaluated on two datasets: Kaggle Monkeypox Skin Lesion Dataset (MSLD) besides the Monkeypox Skin Image Dataset (MSID). We assessed the outcomes of various deep learning models using sensitivity, specificity, and balanced accuracy. Positive results from the projected process raise the possibility of its widespread application in monkeypox detection. This ingenious and cheap method can be put to good use in economically deprived communities that may not have access to proper laboratory facilities.
