Abstract:
In this study, a model was developed to diagnose healthy individuals and those with COVID-19 or other viral pneumonia respiratory diseases using hierarchical classification. COVID-19 X-ray images were used, and the VGG19 convolutional neural network (CNN) was employed for classification tasks on these images. The main objective is to achieve high accuracy in distinguishing between healthy and sick cases, followed by detailed classification of disease types. The hierarchical model consists of a primary classifier to separate healthy and sick samples, followed by a sub-classifier that differentiates between COVID-19 and other viral pneumonia cases. Minimal preprocessing steps were applied to achieve high accuracy through this multi-layered classification system, yielding 100% accuracy in distinguishing healthy and sick cases, 97.5% accuracy in sub-classification of diseases, and an overall accuracy of 98.94% for the hierarchical model. These results highlight the potential of hierarchical classification in disease diagnosis using medical imaging.
