An Overview of Image Processing Techniques for Detecting COVID-19 and Other Infectious Diseases

Abstract

Modern-day medical activities and disease
recognition systems are mostly based on the usage of modern
technologies. Image processing system is one of the most usable
and highly valuable technologies which is used in numerous
amount of disease detection process. In this paper, a review will
be given based on detecting several infectious and cancerous
diseases of different organs in a human body through applying
different types of image processing techniques. Image processing
system consists of several numbers of image processing
techniques which apply to a different category of data and
resources. The infectious diseases in a human body possess a
certain amount of area in any organ of a human body. Modern
medical science of these days is very much advanced that x-ray
images, CT or MRI scan images can provide a digital image of a
human figure and with the help of these images infections can
easily be detected by applying image processing techniques to
make sure certain region is affected.
A detailed overview will
be provided in this review that are the most used image
processing techniques to get accurate results on detecting
different types of infectious diseases.
