Abstract Objective: A deep learning framework for detecting COVID-19 is developed, and a small amount of chest X-ray data is used to accurately screen COVID-19.Methods: In this paper, we propose a deep learning framework that integrates convolution neural network and capsule network. DenseNet and CapsNet fusion are used to give full play to their respective advantages, reduce the dependence of convolution neural network on a large amount of data, and can quickly and accurately distinguish COVID-19 from Non-COVID-19 through chest X-ray imaging.Results: A total of 1472 chest X-ray COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 images are used, this method can achieve an accuracy of 99.32% and a precision of 100%, with 98.55% sensitivity and 100% specificity.Conclusion: These results show that the deep fusion neural network DenseCapsNet has good performance in novel coronavirus pneumonia X-ray detection. We also prove through experiments that the detection performance of DenseCapsNet is not affected fundamentally by a lack of data augmentation and pre-training.

Abstract Since December 2019, the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused world-wide turmoil in less than a couple of months, and the infection, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is spreading at an unprecedented rate. AI-driven tools are used to identify Coronavirus outbreaks as well as forecast their nature of spread, where imaging techniques are widely used, such as CT scans and chest X-rays (CXRs). In this paper, motivated by the fact that X-ray imaging systems are more prevalent and cheaper than CT scan systems, a deep learning-based Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model, which we call Truncated Inception Net, is proposed to screen COVID-19 positive CXRs from other non-COVID and/or healthy cases. To validate our proposal, six different types of datasets were employed by taking the following CXRs: COVID-19 positive, Pneumonia positive, Tuberculosis positive, and healthy cases into account. The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 99.96% (AUC of 1.0) in classifying COVID- 19 positive cases from combined Pneumonia and healthy cases. Similarly, it achieved an accuracy of 99.92% (AUC of 0.99) in classifying COVID-19 positive cases from combined Pneumonia, Tuberculosis and healthy CXRs. To the best of our knowledge, as of now, the achieved results outperform the existing AI-driven tools for screening COVID-19 using CXRs.

The human vision system is mimicked in the format of videos and images in the area of computer vision. As humans can process their memories, likewise video and images can be processed and perceptive with the help of computer vision technology. There is a broad range of fields that have great speculation and concepts building in the area of application of computer vision, which includes automobile, biomedical, space research, etc. The case study in this manuscript enlightens one about the innovation and future scope possibilities that can start a new era in the biomedical image-processing sector. A pre-surgical investigation can be perused with the help of the proposed technology that will enable the doctors to analyses the situations with deeper insight. There are different types of biomedical imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomographic (CT) scan, x-ray imaging. The focused arena of the proposed research is x-ray imaging in this subset. As it is always error-prone to do an eyeball check for a human when it comes to the detailing. The same applied to doctors. Subsequently, they need different equipment for related technologies. The methodology proposed in this manuscript analyses the details that may be missed by an expert doctor. The input to the algorithm is the image in the format of x-ray imaging; eventually, the output of the process is a label on the corresponding objects in the test image. The tool used in the process also mimics the human brain neuron system. The proposed method uses a convolutional neural network to decide on the labels on the objects for which it interprets the image. After some pre-processing the x-ray images, the neural network receives the input to achieve an efficient performance. The result analysis is done that gives a considerable performance in terms of confusion factor that is represented in terms of percentage. At the end of the narration of the manuscript, future possibilities are being traces out to the limelight to conduct further research.

There are limited coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) testing kits, therefore, development of other diagnosis approaches is desirable. The doctors generally utilize chest X-rays and Computed Tomography (CT) scans to diagnose pneumonia, lung inflammation, abscesses, and/or enlarged lymph nodes. Since COVID-19 attacks the epithelial cells that line our respiratory tract, therefore, X-ray images are utilized in this paper, to classify the patients with infected (COVID-19 [Formula: see text]ve) and uninfected (COVID-19 [Formula: see text]ve) lungs. Almost all hospitals have X-ray imaging machines, therefore, the chest X-ray images can be used to test for COVID-19 without utilizing any kind of dedicated test kits. However, the chest X-ray-based COVID-19 classification requires a radiology expert and significant time, which is precious when COVID-19 infection is increasing at a rapid rate. Therefore, the development of an automated analysis approach is desirable to save the medical professionals’ valuable time. In this paper, a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) approach is designed and implemented. Besides, the hyper-parameters of CNN are tuned using Multi-objective Adaptive Differential Evolution (MADE). Extensive experiments are performed by considering the benchmark COVID-19 dataset. Comparative analysis reveals that the proposed technique outperforms the competitive machine learning models in terms of various performance metrics.

The Coronavirus disease outbreak result in many people to have severe respira- tory problems and it was recognized as a global health threat. Since the virus is targeting the lungs in the human body initially, chest x-ray imaging features were considered to be useful for the detection of the infection in the early stage. In this study, the chest x-ray data of 130 infected patients from an open data source that referenced Cohen J. Morrison P. Dao L., 2020 was used to build a CNN( Convolutional Neural-Network) model for the early detection of the disease. The model was trained with both infected and not-infected peoples’ chest x-ray images with 100 epochs which led to 0.98 accuracy finally. In order to use this model as a professional diagnosis element, it is highly recommended it be improved with more images and the model can be restructured to get a better accuracy.
