The new COVID-19 is rapidly spreading and has already claimed the lives of numerous people. The virus is highly destructive to the human lungs, and early detection is critical. As a result, this paper presents a hybrid approach based on deep convolutional neural networks that are very effective tools for image classification. The feature vectors were extracted from the images using a deep convolutional neural network, and the binary differential metaheuristic algorithm was used to select the most valuable features. The SVM classifier was then given these optimized features. For the study, a database containing images from three categories, including COVID-19, pneumonia, and a healthy category, included 1092 X-ray samples, was used. The proposed method achieved a 99.43% accuracy, a 99.16% sensitivity, and a 99.57% specificity. Our findings indicate that the proposed method outperformed recent studies on COVID-19 detection using X-ray images.

Automatically locating the lung regions effectively and efficiently in digital chest X-ray (CXR) images is important in computer-aided diagnosis. In this paper, we propose an adaptive pre-processing approach for segmenting the lung regions from CXR images using convolutional neural networks-based (CNN-based) architectures. It is comprised of three steps. First, a contrast enhancement method specifically designed for CXR images is adopted. Second, adaptive image binarization is applied to CXR images to separate the image foreground and background. Third, CNN-based architectures are trained on the binarized images for image segmentation. The experimental results show that the proposed pre-processing approach is applicable and effective to various CNN-based architectures and can achieve comparable segmentation accuracy to that of state-of-the-art methods while greatly expediting the model training by up to 20.74 % and reducing storage space for CRX image datasets by down to 94.6 % on average.
