Automatic and rapid screening of COVID-19 from the radiological (X-ray or CT scan) images has become an urgent need in the current pandemic situation of SARS-CoV-2 worldwide. However, accurate and reliable screening of patients is challenging due to the discrepancy between the radiological images of COVID-19 and other viral pneumonia. So, in this paper, we design a new stacked convolutional neural network model for the automatic diagnosis of COVID-19 disease from the chest X-ray and CT images. In the proposed approach, different sub-models have been obtained from the VGG19 and the Xception models during the training. Thereafter, obtained sub-models are stacked together using softmax classifier. The proposed stacked CNN model combines the discriminating power of the different CNN’s sub-models and detects COVID-19 from the radiological images. In addition, we collect CT images to build a CT image dataset and also generate an X-ray images dataset by combining X-ray images from the three publicly available data repositories. The proposed stacked CNN model achieves a sensitivity of 97.62% for the multi-class classification of Xray images into COVID-19, Normal and Pneumonia Classes and 98.31% sensitivity for binary classification of CT images into COVID-19 and no-Finding classes. Our proposed approach shows superiority over the existing methods for the detection of the COVID-19 cases from the X-ray radiological images.
