Effect of Image Enhancement Techniques on COVID-19 Detection Using Deep Learning

Abstract

Corona virus is considered one of the most dangerous and fastest growing diseases today due to the rapid spread of the infection and the large number of victims. Referring to direct diagnostic methods which have become ineffective due to the severity of the virus, it is necessary to develop methods that lead to rapid and accurate diagnosis. In this work, we propose to improve X-ray images by different enhancement techniques to increase the performance of automatic diagnosis using deep learning.
