Abstract

Nowadays, with the rapid spread of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) across the globe, the necessity to develop an intelligent system for early diagnosis and detection the COVID-19 infectious disease increases. In recent researches, Chest Xray (CXR) of individual lungs became a common method to identify COVID-19 virus. Manual interpretation of the CXR images can be a lengthy process and subjective to human errors. In this paper, a hybrid Deep Learning model called ReXception is implemented, trained, and evaluated using two types of datasets; Mutliclass and Binary. The network is evaluated based on its overall accuracy, loss, precision, and recall, in addition to the running time and network size. The results show positive indications of the network's performance, especially when compared to other state-of-the-art networks.
