DeTraC_COVId19
Here, we validate and adopt our deep CNN approach, called Decompose, Transfer, and Compose (DeTraC), for the classification of COVID-19 chest X-ray images. DeTrac has achieved a high accuracy of 97.35% (with sensitivity of 98.23% and specificity of 96.34%) in the detection of COVID-19 X-ray images from normal, and severe acute respiratory syndrome cases.
Dataset description
We used 80 samples of normal CXRs from the Japanese Society of Radiological Technology and the following open source chest radiography datasets, which contains 105 and 11 samples of COVID-19 and SARS (with 4248×3480 pixels).
open source for chest radiography datasets:
https://github.com/ieee8023/covid-chestxray-datasetRequirement
Matlab R2019a - window 8 or later version
A guidance for usage
- Consist of three parts :
- Run (Training_original_classes.m) matlab file on the original classes (dataset A),
- check the validation accuracy to get the significant classification performence ,
- using the learned weights to get the features for each class separetly (extract_features.m).
- Run (Pca_CXR.m) matlab file to reduce the dimension features space for each original class.
- Run (construct_dataset_B.m) to apply the K-means clustering algorithm.
- Run (Training_after_decompose.m) to apply the DeTraC model.
Results
DeTraC_COVID19 achieved high accuracy of 97.35% which proved that CNNs have an effective and robust solution for the detection of the COVID-19 cases from CXR images and as a consequence this can be contributed to control the spread of the disease.
