Abstract

The immediate and quick spread of the coronavirus has become a life-threatening disease around the globe. The widespread illness has dramatically changed almost all sectors, moving from offline to online, resulting in a new normal lifestyle for people. The impact of coronavirus is tremendous in the healthcare sector, which has experienced a decline in the first quarter of 2020. This pandemic has created an urge to use computer-aided diagnosis techniques for classifying the Covid-19 dataset to reduce the burden of clinical results. The current situation motivated me to choose correlation-based development called correlation-based grey wolf optimizer to perform accurate classification. A proposed multistage model helps to identify Covid from Computed Tomography (CT) scan image. The first process uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) for extracting the feature from the CT scans. The Pearson coefficient filter method is applied to remove redundant and irrelevant features. Finally, the Grey wolf optimizer is used to choose optimal features. Experimental analysis proves that this determines the optimal characteristics to detect the deadly disease. The proposed model’s accuracy is 14% higher than the krill herd and bacterial foraging optimization for severe accurate respiratory syndrome image (SARS-CoV-2 CT) dataset. The COVID CT image dataset is 22% higher than the existing krill herd and bacterial foraging optimization techniques. The proposed techniques help to increase the classification accuracy of the algorithm in most cases, which marks the stability of the stated result. Comparative analysis reveals that the proposed classification technique to predict COVID-19 with maximum accuracy of 98% outperforms other competitive approaches.
