Covid-19 X-Ray Image Detection using ResNet50 and VGG16 in Convolution Neural Network

COVID-19 is an outbreak of disease which is created by China. COVID-19 is originated by coronavirus (CoV), generally created mutation pattern with 'SARS-CoV2' or '2019 novel coronavirus'. It is declared by the World Health Organization of 2019 in December. COVID-19 is a contagious virus and contiguous disease that will create the morality of life. Even though it is detected in an early stage it can be incurable if the severity is more. The throat and nose samples are collected to identify COVID-19 disease. We collected the X-Ray images to identify the virus. We propose a system to diagnose the images using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models. Dataset used consists of both Covid and Normal X-ray images. Among Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models, the proposed models are ResNet50 and VGG16. RESNET50 consists of 48 convolutional, 1 MaxPool, and Average Pool layers, and VGG16 is another convolutional neural network that consists of 16 deep layers. By using these two models, the detection of COVID-19 is done. This research is designed to help physicians for successful detection of COVID-19 disease at an early stage in the medical field. © 2022 IEEE.

Deep-learning models for Covid-19 Detection Using Chest X-Ray Images

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks are a form of neural network that can categorize, recognize, or separate images. The problem of COVID-19 detection has become the world's most complex challenge since 2019. In this research work, Chest X-Ray images are used to detect patients' Covid Positive or Negative with the help of pre-trained models: VGG16, InceptionV3, ResNet50, and InceptionResNetV2. In this paper, 821 samples are used for training, 186 samples for validation, and 184 samples are used for testing. Hybrid model InceptionResNetV2 has achieved overall maximum accuracy of 94.56% with a Recall value of 96% for normal CXR images, and a precision of 95.12% for Covid Positive images. The lowest accuracy was achieved by the ResNet50 model of 92.93% on the testing dataset, and a Recall of 93.93% was achieved for the normal images. Throughout the implementation process, it was discovered that factors like epoch had a considerable impact on the model's accuracy. Consequently, it is advised that the model be trained with a sufficient number of epochs to provide reliable classification results. The study's findings suggest that deep learning models have an excellent potential for correctly identifying the covid positive or covid negative using CXR images. © 2023 IEEE.

Covid 19 prediction system using CNN

Today, the whole world is fighting the war against Coronavirus. The spread of the virus has been observed in almost all the parts of the world. Covid-19 also known as SARS-Cov-2 was initially observed in China which rapidly multiplied all over the world. The disease is said to spread by cough, normal cold, sneezing or when a person is in close contact with someone who is already infected. Therefore, the spread of the virus can occur when there is direct contact with an infected person or with the objects touched by the infected person. Hence, it is important to detect the contiguous spread of the virus and control it by taking appropriate measures. Several deep learning models have been used in detecting many diseases like Malaria disease, Lung infection, Parkinson's disease etc. Likewise, CNN model along with other transfer techniques is best proven to detect whether a person is infected with covid positive or not. The dataset consists of 1000 images of covid positive and normal x-rays. The proposed model has been trained and tested on the image dataset with the help of transfer learning models in order to improve the performance of the model. The models VGG-16, ResNet-50, Inception v3 and Xception have achieved an overall accuracy of 93%,82%,96% and 92% respectively. The performance of all the 4 architectures are analyzed, understood and hence presented in this paper. It is hence important to classify and detect covid positive infection and contribute towards making the world Covid-free. © 2023 Author(s).

COVID-19 Prognosis from Chest X-ray Images by using Deep Learning Approaches: A Next Generation Diagnostic Tool

Global public health is overwhelmed due to the ongoing Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19). As of October 2022, the causative virus SARS-CoV-2 and its multiple variants have infected more than 600 million confirmed cases and nearly 6.5 million fatalities globally. The main objective of this reported study is to understand the COVID-19 infection better from the chest X-ray (CXR) image database of COVID-19 cases from the dataset of CXR of normal, pneumonia and COVID-19 patients. Deep learning approaches like VGG-16 and LSTM models were used to classify images as normal, pneumonia and COVID-19 impacted by extracting the features. It has been observed during the COVID-19 pandemic peaks that large number of patients could not avail medical beds and were seen stranded outdoors. To address such health emergency situations with limited available bed and scarcity of expert physicians, computer-aided analysis could save precious lives through early screening and appropriate care. Such computer-based deep-learning strategy could help during future pandemics, especially when the available health resources and the need for preventive measures to take do not match the burden of a disease.

Deep CNN and LSTM Architecture-Based Approach for COVID-19 Detection

The severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS-CoV2) led to a pandemic of respiratory disease, namely COVID19. The disease has scaled worldwide and has become a global health concern. Unfortunately, the pandemic not just cost several individuals their lives but also, resulted in many people losing their jobs and life savings. In times like these, ordinary people become fearful of their resources in a world that gives its best resources to the wealthiest beings. Following the pandemic, the world suffered greatly and survival was rather difficult. As a result, numerous analytical techniques were developed to address this issue, with the key one being the discovery that the efficacy of clinically tested vaccines is actually quite poor. When researchers and medical professionals were unable to find a cure, radiologists and engineers created techniques to detect infected chests with the help of X-rays. Our proposed solution involves a CNN + LSTM model which has secured an accuracy of 98% compared to 95% of the trusted VGG-16 architecture. Our model's area under the curve (AUC) scores reached 99.458% while using RMSprop. A crucial feature of image processing till depth is accessible through scanning features from the layers of images using CNN. Our model uses 5 convolution blocks to detect the features. The coordination of activator functions, learning rates, and flattening has enabled accurate in-point predictions. With merely X-rays, models like ours ensure that anyone can easily detect covid-19. The best results obtained were at a learning rate =0.01 with RMSprop and Adam functions. The model has good fortune in detecting any other lung disease which occurs in the near future, as our data collectively rounds up to 4.5 gigabytes of data providing higher precision. © 2023 IEEE.

Computerized Face Mask Detection System Using Deep CNN and Transfer Learning

Since the COVID-19 pandemic is on the rise again with hazardous effects in China, it has become very crucial for global individuals and the authorities to avoid spreading of the virus. This research aims to identify algorithms with high accuracy and moderate computing complexity at the same time (although conventional machine learning works on low computation power, we have rather used CNN for our research work as the accuracy of CNN is drastically greater than the former), to identify the proper enforcement of face masks. In order to find the best Neural Network architecture we used many deep CNN Methodologies to solve classification problem in regards of masked and non masked image dataset. In this approach we applied different model architectures, like VGG16, Resnet50, Resnet101 and VGG19, on a large dataset to train on and compared the model on the basis of accuracy in which VGG16 came out to be the best. VGG16 was further tuned with different optimizers to determine the one best fit of the model. VGG16 gave an ideal accuracy of 99.37% with the best fit optimizer over a real life data set. © 2023 IEEE.

Performance Analysis of VGG-16 Deep Learning Model for COVID-19 Detection using Chest X-Ray Images

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by newly discovered coronavirus. Currently, RT-PCR and Rapid Testing are used to test a person against COVID-19. These methods do not produce immediate results. Hence, we propose a solution to detect COVID-19 from chest X-ray images for immediate results. The solution is developed using a convolutional neural network architecture (VGG-16) model to extract features by transfer learning and a classification model to classify an input chest X-ray image as COVID-19 positive or negative. We introduced various parameters and computed the impact on the performance of the model to identify the parameters with high impact on the model's performance. The proposed solution is observed to provide best results compared to the existing ones. © 2023 Bharati Vidyapeeth, New Delhi.

COVID-19 prediction based on hybrid Inception V3 with VGG16 using chest X-ray images.

The Corona Virus was first started in the Wuhan city, China in December of 2019. It belongs to the Coronaviridae family, which can infect both animals and humans. The diagnosis of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is typically detected by Serology, Genetic Real-Time reverse transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), and Antigen testing. These testing methods have limitations like limited sensitivity, high cost, and long turn-around time. It is necessary to develop an automatic detection system for COVID-19 prediction. Chest X-ray is a lower-cost process in comparison to chest Computed tomography (CT). Deep learning is the best fruitful technique of machine learning, which provides useful investigation for learning and screening a large amount of chest X-ray images with COVID-19 and normal. There are many deep learning methods for prediction, but these methods have a few limitations like overfitting, misclassification, and false predictions for poor-quality chest X-rays. In order to overcome these limitations, the novel hybrid model called "Inception V3 with VGG16 (Visual Geometry Group)" is proposed for the prediction of COVID-19 using chest X-rays. It is a combination of two deep learning models, Inception V3 and VGG16 (IV3-VGG). To build the hybrid model, collected 243 images from the COVID-19 Radiography Database. Out of 243 X-rays, 121 are COVID-19 positive and 122 are normal images. The hybrid model is divided into two modules namely pre-processing and the IV3-VGG. In the dataset, some of the images with different sizes and different color intensities are identified and pre-processed. The second module i.e., IV3-VGG consists of four blocks. The first block is considered for VGG-16 and blocks 2 and 3 are considered for Inception V3 networks and final block 4 consists of four layers namely Avg pooling, dropout, fully connected, and Softmax layers. The experimental results show that the IV3-VGG model achieves the highest accuracy of 98% compared to the existing five prominent deep learning models such as Inception V3, VGG16, ResNet50, DenseNet121, and MobileNet.

Securing health care data through blockchain enabled collaborative machine learning.

Transferring of data in machine learning from one party to another party is one of the issues that has been in existence since the development of technology. Health care data collection using machine learning techniques can lead to privacy issues which cause disturbances among the parties and reduces the possibility to work with either of the parties. Since centralized way of information transfer between two parties can be limited and risky as they are connected using machine learning, this factor motivated us to use the decentralized way where there is no connection but model transfer between both parties will be in process through a federated way. The purpose of this research is to investigate a model transfer between a user and the client(s) in an organization using federated learning techniques and reward the client(s) for their efforts with tokens accordingly using blockchain technology. In this research, the user shares a model to organizations that are willing to volunteer their service to provide help to the user. The model is trained and transferred among the user and the clients in the organizations in a privacy preserving way. In this research, we found that the process of model transfer between user and the volunteered organizations works completely fine with the help of federated learning techniques and the client(s) is/are rewarded with tokens for their efforts. We used the COVID-19 dataset to test the federation process, which yielded individual results of 88% for contributor a, 85% for contributor b, and 74% for contributor c. When using the FedAvg algorithm, we were able to achieve a total accuracy of 82%.

Performance Evaluation of Learning Models for the Prognosis of COVID-19.

COVID-19 has developed as a worldwide pandemic that needs ways to be detected. It is a communicable disease and is spreading widely. Deep learning and transfer learning methods have achieved promising results and performance for the detection of COVID-19. Therefore, a hybrid deep transfer learning technique has been proposed in this study to detect COVID-19 from chest X-ray images. The work done previously contains a very less number of COVID-19 X-ray images. However, the dataset taken in this work is balanced with a total of 28,384 X-ray images, having 14,192 images in the COVID-19 class and 14,192 images in the normal class. Experimental evaluations were conducted using a chest X-ray dataset to test the efficacy of the proposed hybrid technique. The results clearly reveal that the proposed hybrid technique attains better performance in comparison to the existing contemporary transfer learning and deep learning techniques.

The proposed customized convolutional neural network architecture's Accuracy, Error Rate, Precision Rate, Recall, and F1 Score are 0.924, 0.076, 0.937, 0.921, and 0.926 respectively. In comparison with other existing convolutional neural network strategies, the performance of the proposed model is superior as far as comparative tables and graphs are concerned. The proposed customized convolutional neural network model may help researchers and medical professionals to create a full-fledged computer-based Sars-Cov-2 virus detection system in the near future. © 2023 IEEE.

Enhancing Marathi Handwritten Character Recognition Using Ensemble Learning

In the current era, the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) model plays a vital role in converting images of handwritten characters or words into text editable script. During the COVID-19 pandemic, students' performance is assessed based on multiple-choice questions and handwritten answers so, in this situation, the need for handwritten recognition has become acute. Handwritten answers in any regional language need the OCR model to transform the readable machine-encoded text for automatic assessment which will reduce the burden of manual assessment. The single Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm recognizes the handwritten characters but its accuracy is suppressed when dataset volume is increased. In proposed work stacking and soft voting ensemble mechanisms that address multiple CNN models to recognize the handwritten characters. The performance of the ensemble mechanism is significantly better than the single CNN model. This proposed work ensemble VGG16, Alexnet and LeNet-5 as base classifiers using stacking and soft voting ensemble approaches. The overall accuracy of the proposed work is 98.66% when the soft voting ensemble has three CNN classifiers. © 2023 Lavoisier. All rights reserved.

ViDepBot: Assist People to Tackle Depression Due to COVID Using AI Techniques

Taking care of one's mental health properly is very important as we are trying to get past the effects caused by the COVID pandemic era, especially since the rate of COVID spread is still persistent. Many organizations, universities, and schools are continuing an online mode of learning or working from home situation to tackle the spreading of the coronavirus. Due to these situations, the user could be using electronic gadgets like laptops for long hours, often without breaks in between. This has eventually affected their mental health. The ‘ViDepBot', Video-Depression-Bot aims in helping the user to maintain their mental health by detecting their depression level early, and taking appropriate actions by faculty/counselors, parents, and friends to help them to come back to normalcy and maintaining a strong mental life. In this work, a system is proposed to determine the depression level from both the facial emotions and chat texts by the user. The FER2013 dataset is trained using deep learning architecture VGG-16 base model with additional layers which acquired an accuracy of around 87% for classifying the live face emotions. Since people tend to post their feelings and thoughts (when feeling down, depressed, or even happy) on social media such as Twitter, the sentiment140 twitter dataset was taken and trained using the machine learning algorithm Bayes theorem which acquired an accuracy of around 80% for classifying the user input texts. The user is monitored through a webcam and the emotions are recognized live. The ViDepBot regularly chats with the user and takes feedback on the mental condition of the user by analyzing the chat texts received. The emotions and chat texts help to find the depression level of the user. After determining the depression level, the ViDepBot framework provides ideal recommendations to improve the user's mood. This ViDepBot can be further developed to keep track of each student/subject person's depression level, where they would be physically present in the classrooms, once the pandemic situation subsides. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

COVID-19 Detection by Medical Images with Pretrained Transfer Learning-based Model using CNN: A Systematic Review

A new coronavirus that caused the Covid-19 sickness, has already elevated the threat to humans. The virus is quickly spreading around the planet. Therefore, in order to detect sick individuals and stop the infection from spreading, it is vital that we develop fast diagnostic tests. The advancement of machine learning would make it possible to implement pre- ventative actions as soon as possible by enabling early detection of Covid19. However, insufficient sample sizes, particularly chestX-ray pictures, has made it more challenging to diagnose this ailment. In this study, we examined a number of these recently created transfer learning-based CNN models that can identify COVID-19 in lung CT or images of X-ray to diagnose Covid-19 using images of X-ray. We gathered data on the research resources that are readily available. We looked into and examined datasets, pre-processing methods, segmentation approaches, extraction of features, classification, and experimentation outcomes that could be useful for determining future research paths in the area of applying transfer learning based CNN models to diagnose COVID-19 disease. We have analyzed various models such as ResNet50, DenseNet-21, VGG-16, ImageNet, and some hybrid models and evaluated their performance matrix with a particular set of data used in their research work. Additionally, in orderfor a model to perform at its best, it is observed that there aren't enough data sets of COVID-19-infected individuals. This calls for augmentation, segmentation, and domain adaptation in transfer learning. © 2022 IEEE.

Face Mask Detection Using MobileNetV2 and VGG16

As the COVID-19 situation is not over yet, a new strain of corona virus is again affecting population. Strain like Omicron and Deltacron still poses thread to the society. It is very necessary to keep our self-safe. To prevent spread of COVID few precautions are suggested by governments in the world like maintaining distance of 1 m, use of hand sanitizer, and always wear a mask. The new variant of COVID is now reported by the WHO on November 28, 2021;it was first designated as B.1.1.529 and then named as omicron and later a hybrid variant of delta and omicron was also reported. As these are affecting large population and seeing continuous straggle, it can conclude that corona virus can affect people for few more years considering the current scenario. Keeping that in mind people made face detection software which can be used to tell that a person wearing a mask not. This project is based on same object by using two different technologies MobileNetV2 and VGG16 so that a detail comparing can be done. By comparing both of them it can be known that which perform better and people can choose according to their necessity. This research paper is based on machine learning algorithm and deep learning using different Python libraries like OpenCV, TensorFlow with Keras, MobileNetV2, and VGG16. In this project, the main aim this to detect and then identify that person is wearing a mask or not then comparing both technologies and analyzes the result. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

Comparative Analysis of Various Models for Potato Leaf Disease Classification using Deep Learning

Potato is one among the most extensively consumed staple foods, ranking fourth on the global food pyramid. Moreover, because of the global coronavirus outbreak, global potato consumption is expanding dramatically. Potato diseases, on the other hand, are the primary cause of crop quality and quantity decline. Plant conditions will be dramatically worsened by incorrect disease classification and late identification. Fortunately, leaf conditions can help identify various illnesses in potato plants. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L) is one of the majorly farmed vegetable food crops in worldwide. The output of potato crops in both quality and quantity is affected majorly due to fungal blight infections, which causes a severe impact on the global food yield. The most severe foliar diseases for potato crops are early blight and late blight. The causes of these diseases are Alternaria solani and Phytophthora infestants respectively. Farmers suspect such problems by focusing on the color change or transformation in potato leaves, which is effortless due to subjectivity and lengthy time commitment. In such circumstances, it is critical to develop computer models that can diagnose those diseases quickly and accurately, even in their early stages. © 2023 IEEE.

Classification of COVID-19 Cases from X-Ray Images Based on a Modified VGG-16 Model

COVID-19 is considered one of the most deadly pandemics by the World Health Organization and has claimed the lives of millions around the world. Mechanisms for early diagnosis and detection of this rapidly spreading disease are necessary to save lives. However, the increase in COVID-19 cases requires not relying on traditional means of detecting diseases due to these tests' limitations and high costs. One diagnostic technique for COVID-19 is X-rays and CT scans. For accurate and highly efficient diagnosis, computer-aided diagnosis is required. In this research, we suggest a convolutional neural network for chest x-ray images categorisation into two classes of infection: COVID-19 and normal. The suggested model uses an upgraded model based on the VGG-16 architecture that has been trained end-to-end on a dataset composed of X-ray images obtained from two different public data repositories, which include 1,320 and 1,578 cases in the COVID-19 and normal classes, respectively. This suggested model was trained and evaluated on the provided dataset and showed that our proposed model showed improved performance in the matter of overall accuracy, recall, precision, and F1-score at 99.54%, 99.5%, 99.5%, and 99.5%, respectively. The system's significance is supported because it has greater accuracy than other contemporary deep learning methods in the literature on COVID-19 identification.

Deep learning hybrid for X-ray lung disease detection

The lung diseases will cause a significant negative effect on the human lungs in a severe manner. A person may suffer from this disease because of bacteria or viruses. The alveoli in the lungs, which are a portion of the lungs that are filled fluids, so the patients with Pneumonia have a low percentage of oxygen in their blood. According to the UNICEF survey, it killed about 880,000 children belonging to the age-group of 0-5 in the year of 2016. Due to the improper detection of the infection in the starting stage, the death rate of the persons increasing enormously. Lung diseases can be detected by radiologists by looking at or examining the chest x-rays very keenly. This process of examining is very costly and requires time. To reduce the time and increase the accuracy of detection, it is needed to prevent the intervention of man from examining the chest x-rays. It is a great idea to use the convolutional neural networks, which includes in the class of deep learning, for the detection of lung diseases. It works on extracting of features from chest x-rays which classifies them to detect lung diseases. Pre-defined architectures of CNNs, which are the state-of-The-Art algorithm and techniques of transfer learning is used in the project. In this study, a Transfer Learning strategy is utilized, in which a previously trained model is utilized to train on images of various lung disorders taken from the dataset, covering safe samples. Some examples of these lung diseases are lung opacity, viral pneumonia, and covid. © 2022 IEEE.
