The recent outbreak of the respiratory ailment COVID-19 caused by novel corona virus SARS- Cov2 is a severe and urgent global concern. In the absence of vaccine, and also treatment of COVID- 19 WHO (World Health Organization) had informed that Social distancing is the only way to avoid this pandemic and also made clear that Prevention is better than Cure. The main containment strategy is to reduce the contagion by the isolation of affected individuals. Earlier stage this pandemic was declared as a sort of Pneumonia where an individual gets affected by cold, fever and headache. Later, some new symptoms are seen in affected people like sore throat, breathing problems, and sometimes constipation. To make rapid decisions on treatment, and isolation needs, it would be useful to determine which symptoms presented by suspected infection cases are the best predictors of a positive diagnosis. This can be done by analyzing patient's symptoms and its outcome. Here, we developed a model that employed supervised machine learning algorithms to identify the certain features predicting COVID-19 disease diagnosis with high accuracy. Features examined includes details of the concerned individual, e.g., age, gender, observation of fever, breathing difficulty, and clinical details such as the severity of cough and incidence of lung infection and congestion. We had implemented some Machine Learning techniques with algorithms and found out the highest accuracy more than (50 %) of individual patient for all age groups. The following data is collected from COVID-19 positive patients, online survey and social survey done at testing centres. After that we had applied various methods as Data Preprocessing, Model Validation and Statistical analysis, etc. The probability and accuracy of a patient is shown in using various methods of Machine learning algorithm for a better understanding.

AbstractUrban area mapping is an important application of remote sensing which aims at both estimation and change in land cover under the urban area. A major challenge being faced while analyzing Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) based remote sensing data is that there is a lot of similarity between highly vegetated urban areas and oriented urban targets with that of actual vegetation. This similarity between some urban areas and vegetation leads to misclassification of the urban area into forest cover. The present work is a precursor study for the dual-frequency L and S-band NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission and aims at minimizing the misclassification of such highly vegetated and oriented urban targets into vegetation class with the help of deep learning. In this study, three machine learning algorithms Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) have been implemented along with a deep learning model DeepLabv3+ for semantic segmentation of Polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) data. It is a general perception that a large dataset is required for the successful implementation of any deep learning model but in the field of SAR based remote sensing, a major issue is the unavailability of a large benchmark labeled dataset for the implementation of deep learning algorithms from scratch. In current work, it has been shown that a pre-trained deep learning model DeepLabv3+ outperforms the machine learning algorithms for land use and land cover (LULC) classification task even with a small dataset using transfer learning. The highest pixel accuracy of 87.78% and overall pixel accuracy of 85.65% have been achieved with DeepLabv3+ and Random Forest performs best among the machine learning algorithms with overall pixel accuracy of 77.91% while SVM and KNN trail with an overall accuracy of 77.01% and 76.47% respectively. The highest precision of 0.9228 is recorded for the urban class for semantic segmentation task with DeepLabv3+ while machine learning algorithms SVM and RF gave comparable results with a precision of 0.8977 and 0.8958 respectively.
