ABSTRACT
Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in general and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in particular have attained successful results in medical image analysis and classification. A deep CNN architecture has been proposed in this project for the diagnosis of COVID-19 based on the chest image classification. Due to the non availability of sufficient-size and good-quality chest image dataset, an effective and accurate CNN classification was a challenge. To deal with these complexities such as the availability of a very-small-sized and imbalanced dataset with image-quality issues, the dataset has been preprocessed in different phases using different techniques to achieve an effective training dataset for the proposed CNN model to attain its best performance. The preprocessing stages of the datasets performed in this study include dataset balancing, medical experts’ image analysis, and data augmentation. The experimental results have shown the overall accuracy as high as 99.5% which demonstrates the good capability of the proposed CNN model in the current application domain. The CNN model has been tested using an independent dataset of COVID-19 images. The performance in this test scenario was as high as 99.5%. The proposed model has outperformed all the models generally and specifically when the model testing was done using an independent testing set.
