Abstract: ABSTRACT EXPLAINABLE PNEUMONIA DETECTION SYSTEM FROM CHEST X-RAYS USING RASPBERRY PI 5 An explainable pneumonia detection system (100) analyses chest X-ray images locally on a Raspberry Pi 5 processing unit (116). An image acquisition module (104) receives a chest X-ray image from an image source (102) such as a digital radiography system or scanner. An image quality and preprocessing module (106) checks the image, flags an image that fails a configured quality check for review, and prepares an acceptable image for classification. A trained image classification module (108) classifies the prepared image as pneumonia or non-pneumonia and outputs a confidence value. An explainability module (110) generates a visual explanation (122), such as a heat map, saliency representation, highlighted lung region or attention-based overlay, marking the image regions associated with the classification. A display module (112) presents the image, classification, confidence value and visual explanation together. The output aids review by a qualified medical professional and does not replace clinical diagnosis. FIG. 1
