Abstract


Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) is a global emergency that continues to terrify the globe at an alarming rate. Some nations are still combating the virus, attempting to discover infected individuals early on to prevent the infection from spreading. In terms of identifying the pattern in the pictures, radiological patterns have been shown to have greater accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. Publicly available datasets are used for the implementation. The data is divided into three categories: COVID, normal, and pneumonia patients. Transfer learning is a type of deep learning that allows pre-trained models to be used and achieves high accuracy by detecting various anomalies in limited medical datasets. An image dataset of 1109 pictures was used in this work, and training was done using two distinct models, ResNet50 and InceptionV3, to distinguish the patient categories. For ResNet and InceptionV3, the proposed model has an accuracy of 97.29 and 98.20, respectively, with a sensitivity of 100% for InceptionV3 and a specificity of 99.41% for ResNet50. With a 98.20% accuracy, complete sensitivity, and high specificity, this study presents a deep learning model that gives diagnostics for multiclass classification and attempts to discriminate COVID-19 patients using chest X-ray photos. Other illnesses can also be detected using the proposed model.
