ABSTRACT
Like the Covid-19 pandemic, smallpox virus infection broke out in the last century, wherein 500 million deaths were reported along with enormous economic loss. But unlike smallpox, the Covid-19 recorded a low exponential infection rate and mortality rate due to advancement in medical aid and diagnostics. Data analytics, machine learning, and automation techniques can help in early diagnostics and supporting treatments of many reported patients. This paper proposes a robust and efficient methodology for the early detection of COVID-19 from Chest X-Ray scans utilizing enhanced deep learning techniques. Our study suggests that using the Prediction and Deconvolutional Modules in combination with the SSD architecture can improve the performance of the model trained at this task. We used a publicly open CXR image dataset and implemented the detection model with task-specific pre-processing and near 8020 split. This achieved a competitive specificity of 0.9474 and a sensibility/accuracy of 0.9597, which shall help better decision-making for various aspects of identification and treat the infection. © 2021 Tech Science Press.
