Abstract

The target of the research is to evaluate the performance of convolutional neural network architectures for medical image classification and artificial neural network for future prediction. Our focus is to create a generalized model from our own dataset by collecting it from different sources. We have also represented an artificial neural network (ANN) model which can estimate and forecast expansion of COVID-19 in a region based on several parameters. The outbreak prediction model worked with the accuracy of 98%. For CNN, system demonstrates an accuracy of 99.4%. Although, our system still has the scope to further improvement when more COVID-19 images become available. Our proposed model can be used for fast and reliable identification of COVID-19 from patient’s chest X-rays. Primary health workers in remote places where the proper diagnostic laboratory and expert doctor are not available, can use our automatic COVID-19 detection system. In addition to that, our ANN model can predict the future outbreak of COVID-19 for a country which can help any country to take precaution according to it.

Conclusion

The necessity for automatic diagnostic process is at the peak now as there are no effective manual toolkits found economical. Our focus is to detect COVID-19 automatically using AI. In our research paper, a model using simple CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) for the detection of COVID-19 infected person from their chest X-ray is illustrated. We were able to gain a training accuracy of 99.4% and testing accuracy of 95%. We also tried to invent a model that can foretell future outbreak of COVID-19 for a country. Our model is based on Artificial Neural Network. Future risk analysis model achieved testing accuracy 98% and testing accuracy 97% -which is optimum. Since our model has been trained and tested on the data obtained from online sources, still it needs to be checked with manually driven real data.
