COVID 19, pneumonia and other disease classification using chest X-ray images

Abstract

In this report, we propose an alternative way of detecting the Covid-19 disease using Convolutional Neural Networks based deep learning models which will classify between Covid-19 and other similar respiratory diseases such as other types of Viral Pneumonia or Bacterial Pneumonia, using images of Chest X-Rays. The models developed as part of this project achieved approximately 98% accuracy on a test dataset of 300 images.
