We propose a concise approach to facilitate the deep learning model for medical image classification of knee osteoarthritis severity. The characteristics of the input X-ray images are sharpened by a modified 5×5 mask before training and testing in this work. We compare the inference accuracies of two experiments using the same architecture with images sharpened and not sharpened respectively. And we find it tangible that the former performs much better than the latter. This technique could also be helpful when applied onto the edge devices for object detection and image segmentation.
