Abstract
Aim
COVID-19 is a pandemic infectious disease which has influenced the life and health of many communities since December 2019. Due to the rapid worldwide spread of this highly contagious disease, making its early detection with high accuracy important for breaking the chain of transition. X-ray images of COVID-19 patients, reveal specific abnormalities associated with this disease.
Methods
In this study, a multi-view feature learning method for detecting COVID-19 based on chest X-ray images is presented. This method provides a framework for exploiting the multiple types of deep features, which is able to preserve both the correlative and the complementary information, and achieve accurate detection at the classification phase. Deep features are extracted using pre-trained deep CNN models of AlexNet, GoogleNet, ResNet50, SqueezeNet, and VGG19. The learned feature representation of X-ray images are then classified using ELM.
Results
The experiments show that our method achieves accuracy scores of 100%, 99.82%, and 99.82% in detecting three classes of COVID-19, normal, and pneumonia, respectively. The sensitivities of three classes are 100%, 100%, and 99.45%, respectively. The specificities of three classes are 100%, 99.73%, and 100%, respectively. The precision values of three classes are 100%, 99.45%, and 100%, respectively. The F-scores of three classes are 100%, 99.73%, and 99.72%, respectively. The overall accuracy score of our method is 99.82%.
Conclusions
The results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in detecting COVID-19 cases and can therefore assist experts in early diagnosis based on X-ray images.
