Abstract

The novel corona virus is a rapidly spreading viral infection that has became a pandemic causing destructive effects on public health and global economy. So, early detection and Covid-19 patient early quarantine is having the significant impact on curtailing it’s transmission rate. But it has become a major challenge due to critical shortage of test kits. A new promising method that overcomes this challenge by predicting Covid-19 from patient X-rays using transfer learning, a deep learning technique is proposed in this paper. For this we used a dataset consisting of chest x-rays of Covid-19 infected and normal people. we used VGG, GoogleNet-Inception v1, ResNet, CheXNet models of transfer learning which is a deep learning technique for its benefit of decreasing the training time for a neural network model. Using these we show accuracies of 99.49%, 99%, 98.63%, 99.93% respectively in Covid-19 prediction from x-ray of suspected patient.
