Enhanced Detection of COVID-19 in Chest X-ray Images: A Comparative Analysis of CNNs and the DL+ Ensemble Technique
Journal Title: Information Dynamics and Applications - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The swift global spread of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), identified merely four months prior, necessitates rapid and precise diagnostic methods. Currently, the diagnosis largely depends on computed tomography (CT) image interpretation by medical professionals, a process susceptible to human error. This research delves into the utility of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in automating the classification of COVID-19 from medical images. An exhaustive evaluation and comparison of prominent CNN architectures, namely Visual Geometry Group (VGG), Residual Network (ResNet), MobileNet, Inception, and Xception, are conducted. Furthermore, the study investigates ensemble approaches to harness the combined strengths of these models. Findings demonstrate the distinct advantage of ensemble models, with the novel deep learning (DL)+ ensemble technique notably surpassing the accuracy, precision, recall, and F-score of individual CNNs, achieving an exceptional rate of 99.5%. This remarkable performance accentuates the transformative potential of CNNs in COVID-19 diagnostics. The significance of this advancement lies not only in its reliability and automated nature, surpassing traditional, subjective human interpretation but also in its contribution to accelerating the diagnostic process. This acceleration is pivotal for the effective implementation of containment and mitigation strategies against the pandemic. The abstract delineates the methodological choices, highlights the unparalleled efficacy of the DL+ ensemble technique, and underscores the far-reaching implications of employing CNNs for COVID-19 detection.
