Due to its exceptionally rapid spread and high mortality rate, it is not yet possible to be eradicated. In order to halt the spread of COVID-19, there is a pressing need for effective screening of infected patients and immediate medical intervention. The absence of rapid and accurate methods to identify infected patients has led to a need for a model for early diagnosis of patients with and suspected of having COVID-19 to reduce the probability of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. Modern automatic image recognition techniques are an important diagnostic method for COVID-19. The aim of this thesis is to propose a novel deep learning technique for the automatic diagnosis and recognition of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on X-ray images using a transfer learning approach. A new dataset containing COVID-19 information was created by merging two publicly available datasets. This dataset includes 912 COVID-19 images, 4273 pneumonia images, and 1583 normal chest X-ray images. We used this dataset to train and test the deep learning algorithm. With this new dataset, two pre-trained models (Xception and ResNetRS50) were trained and validated using transfer learning techniques. 3-class images were identified (Pneumonia vs. COVID-19 vs. Normal), and the two models generated validation accuracies of 90% and 97.21%, respectively, in the experiments. This demonstrates that our proposed algorithm can be well applied in diagnosing patients with lung diseases. In this study, we found the ResNetRS50 model to be superior.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jifs-232866","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,25]],"date-time":"2023-08-25T10:48:18Z","timestamp":1692960498000},"page":"8135-8144","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Automatic
