Covid-19 is a deadly virus that is rapidly spread around the world towards the end of the 2020. The consequences of this virus are quite frightening, especially when accompanied by an underlying disease. The novelty of the virus, the constant emergence of different variants and its rapid spread have a negative impact on the control and treatment process. Although the new test kits provide almost certain results, chest X-rays are extremely important to detect the progression and degree of the disease. In addition to the Covid-19 virus, pneumonia and harmless opacity of the lungs also complicate the diagnosis. Considering the negative results caused by the virus and the treatment costs, the importance of fast and accurate diagnosis is clearly seen. In this context, deep learning methods appear as an extremely popular approach. In this study, a hybrid model design with superior properties of convolutional neural networks is presented to correctly classify the Covid-19 disease. In addition, in order to contribute to the literature, a suitable dataset with balanced case numbers that can be used in all artificial intelligence classification studies is presented. With this ensemble model design, quite remarkable results are obtained for the diagnosis of three and four-class Covid-19. The proposed model can classify normal, pneumonia, and Covid-19 with 92.6% accuracy and 82.6% for normal, pneumonia, Covid-19, and lung opacity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
