Abstract


The wide spread of COVID-19 all over the world inspires every human to know and visualize its effect on human body. As   COVID-19 effects the human lungs here a number of radiological images of human lungs are analysed using an image processing technique called Threshold Segmentation. A significant difference is observed between healthy lung images and COVID-19 effected lung images.

Keywords


COVID-19, Visualize, Lungs, Radiological images, Threshold Segmentation.
