Abstract

Initial prognosis of the COVID-19 is vital for pandemic avoidance. Nowadays, The lung infection driven by SARS-CoV-2 has spread throughout the world, urged the World Health Organization (WHO) to proclaim it a pandemic disease for its rapid spread. The COVID-19 infection has detrimental effects on respiration, and the severity of the infection might be discovered using particular imaging techniques and lung CT scan is one of them. So, quick and precise coronavirus disease (COVID-19) testing is a possibility utilizing computed tomography (CT) scan images with the alliance of AI. The goal of this work is to use lung CT scans to recognize COVID-19 using transfer learning models and a comparative analysis among various transfer learning models using CT scans. The research was conducted using two standard datasets containing 2792 lung CT scan images. Xception, MobileNetV2, InceptionV3, DenseNet201, and InceptionResNetV2 were utilized to tag COVID-19 as negative or positive in case of the CT scan inputs. Our used transfer learning based Xception, MobileNetV2, InceptionV3, DenseNet201, and IncpetionResNetV2 achieved the highest validation accuracy of 92.19%, 97.40%, 85.42%, 86.98%, and 95.31% accordingly.
