Abstract

Now-a-days, there are numerous techniques and ICT tools for the detection of Covid-19. But, these techniques are working with the help; of culminated or peak of symptoms. However, there is a demanding need for the early detection of Covid with self-reported symptoms or even without any symptoms, which makes it easier for further diagnosis or treatment. This research paper proposes a novel approach for the early detection of Covid with the spectral analysis of Cough sound using discrete wavelet transform (DWT), followed by deep convolution neural network (DCNN) based classification. The proposed method with the cough spectral analysis and Deep Learning based algorithm returns the covid infection probability. The empirical results show that the proposed method of covid detection using cough spectral analysis using DWT and deep learning achieves better accuracy, while compared to the conventional methods.
