Pneumonia remains a threat to human health; the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that began at the end of 2019 had a major impact on the world. It is still raging in many countries and has caused great losses to people's lives and property. In this paper, we present a method based on DeepConv-DilatedNet of identifying and localizing pneumonia in chest X-ray (CXR) images. Two-stage detector Faster R-CNN is adopted as the structure of a network. Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) is integrated into the residual neural network of a dilated bottleneck so that the deep features are expanded to preserve the deep feature and position information of the object. In the case of DeepConv-DilatedNet, the deconvolution network is used to restore high-level feature maps into its original size, and the target information is further retained. On the other hand, DeepConv-DilatedNet uses a popular fully convolution architecture with computation shared on the entire image. Then, Soft-NMS is used to screen boxes and ensure sample quality. Also, K-Means++ is used to generate anchor boxes to improve the localization accuracy. The algorithm obtained 39.23% Mean Average Precision (mAP) on the X-ray image dataset from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and got 38.02% Mean Average Precision (mAP) on the ChestX-ray14 dataset, surpassing other detection algorithms. So, in this paper, an improved algorithm that can provide doctors with location information of pneumonia lesions is proposed.
