CNN Based Covid-19 Detection from Image Processing

Covid-19 is a respirational condition that looks much like pneumonia. is highly contagious and has many variants with different symptoms. Covid-19 poses the challenge of discovering new testing and detection methods in biomedical science. X-ray images and CT scans provide high-quality and information-rich images. These images can be processed with a convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect diseases such as Covid-19 in the pulmonary system with high accuracy. Deep learning applied to X-ray images can help to develop methods to identify Covid-19 infection. Based on the research problem, this study defined the outcome as reducing the energy costs and expenses of detecting Covid-19 in X-ray images. Analysis of the results was done by comparing a CNN model with a DenseNet model, where the first achieved more accurate performance than the second.
