Detection Covid-19 Based on Chest X-ray Images Using Convolution Neural Networks

Abstract

Covid-19 is a deadly virus that has spread worldwide, causing millions of deaths. Chest X-ray is one of the most common methods of diagnosing the infection of Covid - 19. Therefore, this paper has presented an efficient method to detect Covid-19 through X-rays of the chest area through a Neural convolution network (CNN). the proposed system has used a convolution neural network to classify the extracted features. Since CNN needs a set of data defined for training and testing, the proposed method used a public dataset of 350 pneumonia x-ray images, 300 viral images, and 350 normal images for evaluation. Besides, the proposed work achieved a satisfactory accuracy of 95% based on the X-ray image.
