Digital Image Analysis Is a Silver Bullet to COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The rise in the demand of computational intelligence tools and techniques has been seen as impressive technology to deal with the issues might face in several domains. In most applications, specially confined to medical sphere, its promising results set new benchmark which is hard to beat, and that’s why it emerges as an effective framework in respond to Corona Virus. This deadly virus, first found in China, quickly propagated from its source to entire world through human-to-human transmission, as human is seen as medium of its swift replication. The main challenge before nations is to discover felicitous treatments and suitable medical drugs, besides the uncertain patterns of pathogen. Not only soft intelligence, but it is accompanied by digital image analysis in the studies of lethal virus. Images, in the form of thermal screening or normal body scans, have always been elementary part of medical treatment process. It gives ease to remedial staff as data interpretation and presentation becomes intuitive. So the article is aiming to project how merits of digital image analysis incorporated with computational intelligence lift the barriers up in the way of Corona outbreak. The chapter will be providing the highlights of digital image process at the verge of COVID-19. The fundamentals of soft computing, computer vision and digital image processing will also be discussed. It will be supported by on-going medical studies, scientific experiments and research accounts to solve the complications arisen by novel Corona Virus.
