Abstract – We present a study on Covid-19 detection using deep learning algorithms that help predict and detect Covid-19. Chest X-ray images were used as the input dataset to prepare and train the proposed model. In this context, deep learning architecture (DLA) and optimisation strategies have been proposed and explored to support the automated detection of Covid-19. A model based on a convolutional neural network was proposed to extract features of images for the feature-learning phase. Data augmentation and fine-tuning with deep-feature-based methods were applied to improve the model. Image enhancement and saliency maps were used to enhance visualisation and estimate the disease severity level based on two parameters; degree of opacity and geographic extent. Contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization and Otsu thresholding were employed with several parameters to investigate the effects on the visualisation results. An experimental investigation was performed between the proposed method and other pretrained DLAs. The proposed work obtained excellent classification accuracy and sensitivity of 97.36% and 95.24% respectively. In addition, the input parameters for image enhancement significantly affected the results. The overall performance metrics were perfect for DenseNet and adequately high for the proposed work which is comparable to other models. Data augmentation and fine-tuning successfully handed the networks to enhance the overall performance, especially in our case with limited datasets.

WOW just what I was searching for. Came here by searching for meta_keyword
An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on this. And he in fact ordered me dinner due to the fact that I discovered it for him… lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending some time to discuss this matter here on your site.
Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?
Your style is really unique compared to other folks I’ve read stuff from. I appreciate you for posting when you’ve got the opportunity, Guess I will just bookmark this blog.
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
Hello exceptional website! Does running a blog such as this require a lot of work? I’ve absolutely no understanding of coding but I had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyways, should you have any ideas or tips for new blog owners please share. I know this is off topic nevertheless I simply needed to ask. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. I read many of your blog posts, cool, your blog is very good.
It’s fantastic that you are getting thoughts from this post as well as from our discussion made at this time.
Thanks for another informative blog. Where else could I get that kind of info written in such a perfect way? I have a project that I am just now working on, and I have been at the glance out for such info.
What a information of un-ambiguity and preserveness of precious know-how about unexpected feelings.
Hi my family member! I wish to say that this article is amazing, great written and include almost all important infos. I would like to look extra posts like this .
