| Algorithm 1. Classification of X-ray chest diseases by using m-Xception and XgBoost classifier | |
| Step 1: | Pre-process image = X and Pre-processing step is applied by using: (a) Resize Chest X-Ray image (X) to (299, 299) [Enhanced Chest X-Ray image by preprocessing steps] (a) Remove Noise using Gaussian smoothing operator, and (b) Enhance local contrast logarithmic operator |
| Step 2: | Class Balance = Augmentation (preprocessed) |
| Step 3: | [Extract Deep Feature]: (a) Feature Extraction used: Optimize the m-Inception model by first entry flow for the feature extraction |
| Step 4: | Deep-features = Deep features were extracted by the m-Xception model |
| Step 5: | Prediction = XgBoost classifier is used to classify the images into four classes: lung opacity, COVID-19, pneumonia, and normal |
| Step 6: | [End] |
