ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 outbreak is a major global catastrophe of our time and the largest hurdle since World War II. According to WHO, as of July 2022, there are more than 571 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and over six million deaths. The issue of identifying unexpected inputs based on trained examples of normal data is known as anomaly detection. In the case of diagnosing covid-19, Chest X-ray disorders that are hardly apparent are extremely challenging to identify. Although various well-known supervised classification methods are being applied for that purpose, however in the real scenario, healthy patients' data is tremendously available but contaminated samples are scarce. The process of gathering samples from ill patients is troublesome and takes a lengthy time. To address the issue of data imbalance in anomaly detection, this research demonstrates an unsupervised learning technique using a convolutional autoencoder in which the training phase does not include any infected sample. Being trained only with the healthy data, The patterns of the healthy samples are preserved in latent vector space and can differentiate ill samples by observing substantial divergence from the distribution of healthy data. Higher reconstruction error and lower KDE (Kernel Density Estimation) indicate affected data. By contrasting the reconstruction error and KDE of healthy data with anomalous data, the suggested technique is feasible for identifying anomalous samples. © 2022 IEEE.
