COVID-19 disease is known as a new disease caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variant. The initial symptoms of the disease commonly include fever (83-98%), fatigue or myalgia, dry cough (76-82%), and shortness of breath (31-55%). Given the prevalence of coughing as a symptom, artificial intelligence has been employed as a means of detecting COVID-19 based on cough sounds. This study aims to compare the performance of six different Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models (VGG-16, VGG-19, LeNet-5, AlexNet, ResNet-50, and ResNet-152) in detecting COVID-19 using mel-spectrogram images derived from cough sounds. The training and validation of these CNN models were conducted using the Virufy dataset. Audio data was processed to generate mel-spectrogram images, which were subsequently employed as inputs for the CNN models. The AlexNet model, utilizing an input size of 227x227, exhibited the best performance with the highest Area Under the Curve (AUC) value of 0.930303. This study provides compelling evidence of the efficacy of CNN models in detecting COVID-19 based on cough sounds through the utilization of mel-spectrogram images. Furthermore, the study underscores the impact of input size on model performance. The primary contribution of this research lies in identifying the CNN model that demonstrates the best performance in COVID-19 detection based on cough sounds. Additionally, this study establishes the fundamental groundwork for selecting an appropriate CNN methodology for early detection of COVID-19.Downloads
