Automated COVID-19 Classification Using Heap-Based Optimization with the Deep Transfer Learning Model

Abstract

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic necessitates prompt identification of affected persons to restrict the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic. Radiological imaging such as computed tomography (CT) and chest X-rays (CXR) is considered an effective way to diagnose COVID-19. However, it needs an expert’s knowledge and consumes more time. At the same time, artificial intelligence (AI) and medical images are discovered to be helpful in effectively assessing and providing treatment for COVID-19 infected patients. In particular, deep learning (DL) models act as a vital part of a high-performance classification model for COVID-19 recognition on CXR images. This study develops a heap-based optimization with the deep transfer learning model for detection and classification (HBODTL-DC) of COVID-19. The proposed HBODTL-DC system majorly focuses on the identification of COVID-19 on CXR images. To do so, the presented HBODTL-DC model initially exploits the Gabor filtering (GF) technique to enhance the image quality. In addition, the HBO algorithm with a neural architecture search network (NasNet) large model is employed for the extraction of feature vectors. Finally, Elman Neural Network (ENN) model gets the feature vectors as input and categorizes the CXR images into distinct classes. The experimental validation of the HBODTL-DC model takes place on the benchmark CXR image dataset from the Kaggle repository, and the outcomes are checked in numerous dimensions. The experimental outcomes stated the supremacy of the HBODTL-DC model over recent approaches with a maximum accuracy of 0.9992.

Optimized Classification Model for Biomedical Data Analysis

“…Data normalization is applied to pre-process the input data at the initial stage. Next, the HBO algorithm is used in the second stage to choose an optimal set of features from the healthcare data and the DQNN model is exploited for healthcare data classification [5][6][7][8][9]. Figure 1 shows the medical imaging process.…”
