GW- CNNDC: Gradient weighted CNN model for diagnosing COVID-19 using radiography X-ray images.

ABSTRACT

COVID-19 is one of the dangerous viruses that cause death if the patient doesn't identify it in the early stages. Firstly, this virus is identified in China, Wuhan city. This virus spreads very fast compared with other viruses. Many tests are there for detecting this virus, and also side effects may find while testing this disease. Corona-virus tests are now rare; there are restricted COVID-19 testing units and they can't be made quickly enough, causing alarm. Thus, we want to depend on other determination measures. There are three distinct sorts of COVID-19 testing systems RTPCR, CT, and CXR. There are certain limitations to RTPCR, which is the most time-consuming technique, and CT-scan results in exposure to radiation which may cause further diseases. So, to overcome these limitations, the CXR technique emits comparatively less radiation, and the patient need not be close to the medical staff. COVID-19 detection from CXR images has been tested using a diversity of pre-trained deep-learning algorithms, with the best methods being fine-tuned to maximize detection accuracy. In this work, the model called GW-CNNDC is presented. The Lung Radiography pictures are portioned utilizing the Enhanced CNN model, deployed with RESNET-50 Architecture with an image size of 255*255 pixels. Afterward, the Gradient Weighted model is applied, which shows the specific separation regardless of whether the individual is impacted by Covid-19 affected area. This framework can perform twofold class assignments with exactness and accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and Loss value, and the model turns out proficiently for huge datasets with less measure of time.
