Automated COVID-19 Detection from WBC-DIFF Scattergram Images with Hybrid CNN Model Using Feature Selection
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the medical diagnosis such as WBC (white blood cell), the scattergram images show the relationships between neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes cells in the blood. For COVID-19 detection, the distributions of these cells differ in healthy and COVID-19 patients. This study proposes a hybrid CNN model for COVID-19 detection using scatter images obtained from WBC sub (differential-DIFF) parameters instead of CT or X-Ray scans. As a data set, the scattergram images of 335 COVID-19 suspects without chronic disease, collected from the biochemistry department of Elazig Fethi Sekin City Hospital, are examined. At first, the data augmentation is performed by applying HSV(Hue, Saturation, Value) and CIE-1931(Commission Internationale de l'éclairage) conversions. Thus, three different image large sets are obtained as a result of raw, CIE-1931, and HSV conversions. Secondly, feature extraction is applied by giving these images as separate inputs to the CNN model. Finally, the ReliefF feature extraction algorithm is applied to determine the most dominant features in feature vectors and to determine the features that maximize classification accuracy. The obtaining feature vector is classified with high-performance SVM in binary classification. The overall accuracy is 95.2%, and the F1-Score is 94.1%. The results show that the method can successfully detect COVID -19 disease using scattergram images and is an alternative to CT and X-Ray scans.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
