Abstract

INTRODUCTION: With the increasing number of Covid-19 cases as well as care costs, chest diseases have gained increasing interest in several communities, particularly in medical and computer vision. Clinical and analytical exams are widely recognized techniques for diagnosing and handling Covid-19 cases. However, strong detection tools can help avoid damage to chest tissues. The proposed method provides an important way to enhance the semantic segmentation process using combined potential deep learning (DL) modules to increase consistency. Based on Covid-19 CT images, this work hypothesized that a novel model for semantic segmentation might be able to extract definite graphical features of Covid-19 and afford an accurate clinical diagnosis while optimizing the classical test and saving time.
