Research on Classification of COVID-19 Chest X-Ray Image Modal Feature Fusion Based on Deep Learning.

Most detection methods of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) use classic image classification models, which have problems of low recognition accuracy and inaccurate capture of modal features when detecting chest X-rays of COVID-19. This study proposes a COVID-19 detection method based on image modal feature fusion. This method first performs small-sample enhancement processing on chest X-rays, such as rotation, translation, and random transformation. Five classic pretraining models are used when extracting modal features. A global average pooling layer reduces training parameters and prevents overfitting. The model is trained and fine-tuned, the machine learning evaluation standard is used to evaluate the model, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is drawn. Experiments show that compared with the classic model, the classification method in this study can more effectively detect COVID-19 image modal information, and it achieves the expected effect of accurately detecting cases.
