One of the most morbid infections in recent times is Covid-19, having a potential to cause death in human beings. Covid-19 are a group of RNA viruses that cause disease in mammals and birds. In humans and birds, they cause respiratory tract infections that can go from gentle to deadly. An effective testing method is to conduct swab tests in order to determine if the person is infected with Covid- 19. This becomes very handy in the medical field as diagnosis is rather quick and simple. However, medical image processing provides further information, and is an emergent field in recent times. We have proposed the use of modern Image Processing techniques to detect COVID-19 patients using the dataset of CT (Computed Tomography) scan images in an automated manner. This dataset is used to perform a comparison between different CT scan images for COVID-19 positive cases along with Normal and Viral Pneumonia images.
