Description
Summary:The new coronavirus, COVID-19, has affected people all over the world. Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses that can infect animals and humans and cause respiratory distress; these discomforts may be as mild as a cold or as severe as pneumonia. Correct detection of this disease can help to avoid its spreading increasingly. In this paper, a new CAD-based approach is suggested for the optimal diagnosis of this disease from chest X-ray images. The proposed method starts with a min-max normalization to scale all data into a normal scale, and then, histogram equalization is performed to improve the quality of the image before main processing. Afterward, 18 different features are extracted from the image. To decrease the method difficulty, the minimum features are selected based on a metaheuristic called Archimedes optimization algorithm (AOA). The model is then implemented on three datasets, and its results are compared with four other state-of-the-art methods. The final results indicated that the proposed method with 86% accuracy and 96% precision has the highest balance between accuracy and reliability with the compared methods as a diagnostic system for COVID-19.
