• Abstract: In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the level of attention that is given to algorithms based on deep learning in the context of medical image segmentation. Nevertheless, the reliability of the field has been hindered due to the absence of a standardized methodology for performance analysis and the utilization of different datasets in previous research. The primary objective of the research is to comprehensively evaluate contemporary segmentation frameworks combined with state-of-the-art pre-trained backbones in order to accurately predict COVID-19 lesions in CT images. Moreover, this evaluation can serve as a point of reference for the segmentation of images in various other imaging scenarios. In order to accomplish this, we integrate four distinct deep learning architectures, namely Unet, PSPNet, Linknet, and FPN, with six pre-trained encoders, including VGG 19, DenseNet 121, Inception ResNet V2, MobileNet V2, SeresNet 101, and EfficientNet B0. This approach enables the development of diverse testing architectures. In the context of image segmentation, our research encompassed both binary and multi-class experimentation. The findings derived from our analysis of three distinct COVID-19 CT segmentation datasets indicate that deep learning architectures yield precise and efficient segmentation outcomes. Significantly, a maximum F1-Score of 98% was attained for binary class segmentation, while multi-class segmentation yielded F1-Scores of 75% and 77% across two separate datasets. The utilization of artificial intelligence and deep learning enhances the diagnostic process for pandemic diseases across multiple dimensions.
