The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the fastest transmittable virus caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The detection of COVID-19 using artificial intelligence techniques and especially deep learning will help to detect this virus in early stages which will reflect in increasing the opportunities of fast recovery of patients worldwide. This will lead to release the pressure off the healthcare system around the world. In this research, classical data augmentation techniques along with Conditional Generative Adversarial Nets (CGAN) based on a deep transfer learning model for COVID-19 detection in chest CT scan images will be presented. The limited benchmark datasets for COVID-19 especially in chest CT images are the main motivation of this research. The main idea is to collect all the possible images for COVID-19 that exists until the very writing of this research and use the classical data augmentations along with CGAN to generate more images to help in the detection of the COVID-19. In this study, five different deep convolutional neural network-based models (AlexNet, VGGNet16, VGGNet19, GoogleNet, and ResNet50) have been selected for the investigation to detect the Coronavirus-infected patient using chest CT radiographs digital images. The classical data augmentations along with CGAN improve the performance of classification in all selected deep transfer models. The outcomes show that ResNet50 is the most appropriate deep learning model to detect the COVID-19 from limited chest CT dataset using the classical data augmentation with testing accuracy of 82.91%, sensitivity 77.66%, and specificity of 87.62%.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的传播速度最快的病毒。利用人工智能技术尤其是深度学习来检测COVID-19,将有助于在早期阶段检测出这种病毒,这将反映在增加全球患者快速康复的机会上。这将减轻世界各地医疗系统的压力。在本研究中,将介绍基于深度迁移学习模型的经典数据增强技术以及条件生成对抗网络(CGAN),用于胸部CT扫描图像中的COVID-19检测。COVID-19的基准数据集有限,尤其是胸部CT图像方面,这是本研究的主要动机。主要思路是收集截至本研究撰写时所有可能的COVID-19图像,并使用经典数据增强技术以及CGAN来生成更多图像,以帮助检测COVID-19。在本研究中,选择了五种不同的基于深度卷积神经网络的模型(AlexNet、VGGNet16、VGGNet19、GoogleNet和ResNet50)进行调查,以使用胸部CTX光数字图像检测冠状病毒感染患者。经典数据增强技术与CGAN一起提高了所有选定深度迁移模型的分类性能。结果表明,ResNet50是使用经典数据增强从有限的胸部CT数据集中检测COVID-19的最合适深度学习模型,测试准确率为82.91%,灵敏度为77.66%,特异性为87.62%。
