ABSTRACT
COVID-19 has sparked a global pandemic, with a variety of inflamed instances and deaths increasing on an everyday basis. Researchers are actively increasing and improving distinct mathematical and ML algorithms to forecast the infection. The prediction and detection of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 brought new issues for the health fraternity due to its ubiquity in human beings. In this research work, two learning algorithms, namely, deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML), were developed to forecast the Omicron virus infections. Automatic disease prediction and detection have become crucial issues in medical science due to rapid population growth. In this research study, a combined Extended CNN-RNN research model was developed on a chest CT-scan image dataset to predict the number of +ve and -ve cases of Omicron virus infections. The proposed research model was evaluated and compared against the existing system utilizing a dataset of 16,733-sample training and testing CT-scan images collected from the Kaggle repository. This research article aims to introduce a combined ML and DL technique based on the combination of an Extended Convolutional Neural Network (ECNN) and an Extended Recurrent Neural Network (ERNN) to diagnose and predict Omicron virus-infected cases automatically using chest CT-scan images. To overcome the drawbacks of the existing system, this research proposes a combined research model that is ECNN-ERNN, where ECNN is used for the extraction of deep features and ERNN is used for exploration using extracted features. A dataset of 16,733 Omicron computer tomography images was used as a pilot assessment for this proposed prototype. The investigational experiment results show that the projected prototype provides 97.50% accuracy, 98.10% specificity, 98.80% of AUC, and 97.70% of F1-score. To the last, the study outlines the advantages being offered by the proposed model with respect to other existing models by comparing different parameters of validation such as accuracy, error rate, data size, time complexity, and execution time.
ABSTRACT
The healthcare system, lifestyle, industrial growth, economy, and livelihood of human beings worldwide were affected due to the triggered global pandemic by the COVID-19 virus that originated and was first reported in Wuhan city, Republic Country of China. COVID cases are difficult to predict and detect in their early stages, and their spread and mortality are uncontrollable. The reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is still the first and foremost diagnostical methodology accepted worldwide; hence, it creates a scope of new diagnostic tools and techniques of detection approach which can produce effective and faster results compared with its predecessor. Innovational through current studies that complement the existence of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) to findings in the thorax (chest) X-ray imaging, the projected research's method makes use of present deep learning (DL) models with the integration of various frameworks such as GoogleNet, U-Net, and ResNet50 to novel method those X-ray images and categorize patients as the corona positive (COVID + ve) or the corona negative (COVID -ve). The anticipated technique entails the pretreatment phase through dissection of the lung, getting rid of the environment which does now no longer provide applicable facts and can provide influenced consequences; then after this, the preliminary degree comes up with the category version educated below the switch mastering system; and in conclusion, consequences are evaluated and interpreted through warmth maps visualization. The proposed research method completed a detection accuracy of COVID-19 at around 99%.
