Abstract

The computed tomography (CT) scan delivers more detailed information and higher judgment accuracy than a chest X-ray, which has a wide range of uses in diagnosing and decision-making to aid medical professionals. This paper proposed a method to detect COVID-19 from CT scan images using the combination of spatial domain and transform domain features. Using the lung segmentation step, the CT image is first processed and segmented, and then various domain features are extracted. From these domain features, the highest combined domain features (CDF) are obtained. Finally, the detection task is completed using random forest (RF) and Naive Bayesian (NB) classifiers. The proposed method is tested using a dataset of CT scan images, and the results are compared to several current techniques. The results showed that our method based on CDF outperforms previous methods, with an overall accuracy of nearly 98%. As can be shown, CDF is the best domain feature to apply for detecting COVID-19.
