        The use of raw radiography results in lung disease identification has not acceptable performance. Machine learning can help identify diseases more accurately. Extensive studies were performed in classical and deep learning-based disease identification, but these methods do not have acceptable accuracy and efficiency or require high learning data. In this paper, a new method is presented for automatic interstitial lung disease identification on radiography images to address these challenges. In the first step, patient information is removed from the images; the remaining pixels are standardized for more precise processing. In the second step, the reliability of the proposed method is improved by Radon transform, extra data is removed using the Top-hat filter, and the detection rate is increased by Discrete Wavelet Transform and Discrete Cosine Transform. Then, the number of final features is reduced with Locality Sensitive Discriminant Analysis. The processed images are divided into learning and test categories in the third step to create different models using learning data. Finally, the best model is selected using test data. Simulation results on the NIH dataset show that the decision tree provides the most accurate model by improving the harmonic mean of sensitivity and accuracy by up to 1.09times compared to similar approaches.
