Automatic COVID-19 Diagnosis System Based on Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

A public health emergency threat is happening due to novel coronavirus 2019 (nCoV-2019) throughout the world. nCoV-2019 is also named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-CoronaVirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 is the disease caused by this virus. The virus originates in bats and is transmitted to humans by some unidentified intermediate animals. This virus started around December 2019 at Wuhan of China. After that, it turned into a pandemic. Even though there is no efficient vaccination, the entire world fights against the COVID-19. This article presents an overview of the scenario of the world as well as India. Some of the leading countries in the world are also affected by this virus badly. Even India is the 2nd highest population, is taking necessary precautions to protect it. With the Government of India's decisions, along with effective social distancing and hygienic measures, India is in a better position. But, in the future, COVID19 cases in India, still unpredictable. We designed an algorithm based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which helps to classify COVID19+ and COVID19- persons using people's chest X-ray images automatically generated within the shortest time. The proposed method discovered that employing CT scan medical images produced more accurate results than X-ray images.
