Mucormycosis Detection using Hybrid Convolutional Neural Network with Support Vector Machine and Compare the performance with Support Vector Machine

Based on the patient's underlying condition, mucormycosis, often known as a black fungus illness, is an uncommon but severe disease with a high fatality rate. The large second wave of the COVID-19 epidemic has presented a challenge for the Indian healthcare system from this life-threatening powerful threat. The fungus family Mucorales causes mucormycosis, which affects numerous bodily organs. This fungal opportunistic illness spreads quickly. Recently, this unusual fungus has been infecting covid sufferers in India at greater rates than before. In India, the frequency of this black fungus illness amongst covid-19 as well as post-covid-19 patients is now on the rise. Finding a solution for this potentially fatal fungal infection requires the aid of modern technologies, including artificial intelligence and data learning. In this article, we present a unique hybrid model for black fungus identification that combines support vector machine classifier and convolutional learning network. Under the proper circumstances, the CNNSVM model is made simpler by minimizing the amount of variables because it is not important to constantly the weighting factors in a back propagation cycle. Additionally, it was shown that the SVM classifier was the best merging equivalent when the CNN was employed as a feature extractor, offering the highest accuracy-related synergy effect. On testing data, the mean classification performance was 99.3%, which is a significant improvement over current techniques.
