RESUMO
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is responsible for the rapid global spread of the COVID-19 disease. As a result, it is critical to understand and collect primary data on the virus, infection epidemiology, and treatment. Despite the speed with which the virus was detected, studies of its cell biology and architecture at the ultrastructural level are still in their infancy. Therefore, we investigated and analyzed the viral morphometry of SARS-CoV-2 to extract important key points of the virus's characteristics. Then, we proposed a prediction model to identify the real virus levels based on the optimization of a full recurrent neural network (RNN) using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. Consequently, identification of virus levels depends on the size of the morphometry of the area (width, height, circularity, roundness, aspect ratio, and solidity). The results of our model were an error score of training network performance 3.216 × 10-11 at 639 epoch, regression of -1.6 × 10-9, momentum gain (Mu) 1 × 10-9, and gradient value of 9.6852 × 10-8, which represent a network with a high ability to predict virus levels. The fully automated system enables virologists to take a high-accuracy approach to virus diagnosis, prevention of mutations, and life cycle and improvement of diagnostic reagents and drugs, adding a point of view to the advancement of medical virology.
