Detection of COVID-19 Infection Using Convolutional Neural Network

Abstract

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a newly discovered viral sickness that can be fatal. The majority of patients will experience mild to severe respiratory problems and will improve without need for special treatment. Persons over 65, and for those who are underlying medical disorders such cardiovascular disease, asthma, respiratory illness, and cancer, are more prone for developing severe symptoms. In these conditions, 3D volumetric imaging has proven to be a useful technique for COVID-19 patient diagnosis and prognosis. We present a new approach for detecting and classifying COVID-19 infection using 3D volumetric lung imaging in this work. For the detection and classification process, we have used 3D volumetric image processing and deep learning techniques, respectively. Early recognition and finding are basic elements to stop COVID-19 spreading. Various profound learning-based approaches had been proposed for COVID-19 separating CT examines as an instrument to computerize and assist with finding. These methods suffer with at least one of the faults listed below: (i) They treat each CT scan individually (ii) These methods are trained and tested on the same dataset. To address these two challenges, we present an accurate deep learning technique for COVID-19 screening using a democratic framework in this paper.
