Abstract

Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) used for diagnosing COVID-19 has been found to give low detection rate during early stages of infection. Radiological analysis of CT images has given higher prediction rate when compared to RT-PCR technique. In this paper, hybrid learning models are used to classify COVID-19 CT images, Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) CT images, and normal CT images with high specificity and sensitivity. The proposed system in this paper has been compared with various machine learning classifiers and other deep learning classifiers for better data analysis. The outcome of this study is also compared with other studies which were carried out recently on COVID-19 classification for further analysis. The proposed model has been found to outperform with an accuracy of 96.69%, sensitivity of 96%, and specificity of 98%.
