Abstract

SARS-COV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2) has caused widespread mortality. Infected individuals had specific radiographic visual features and fever, dry cough, lethargy, dyspnea, and other symptoms. According to the study, the chest X-ray (CXR) is one of the essential non-invasive clinical adjuncts for detecting such visual reactions associated with SARS-COV-2. Manual diagnosis is hindered by a lack of radiologists' availability to interpret CXR images and by the faint appearance of illness radiographic responses. The paper describes an automatic COVID detection based on the deep learning- based system that applied transfer learning techniques to extract features from CXR images to distinguish. The system has three main components. The first part is extracting CXR features with MobileNetV2. The second part used the extracted features and applied Dimensionality reduction using LDA. The final part is a Classifier, which employed XGBoost to classify dataset images into Normal, Pneumonia, and Covid-19. The proposed system achieved both immediate and high results with an overall accuracy of 0.96%, precision of 0.95%, recall of 0.94%, and F1 score of 0.94%.
