Improvement on KNN using genetic algorithm and combined feature extraction to identify COVID-19 sufferers based on CT scan image

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread throughout the world. The detection of this disease is usually carried out using the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) swab test. However, limited resources became an obstacle to carrying out the massive test. To solve this problem, computerized tomography (CT) scan images are used as one of the solutions to detect the sufferer. This technique has been used by researchers but...
