A new study published on arXiv investigates the necessity of data augmentation and lung segmentation for AI-driven COVID-19 detection using chest X-rays. The research, which proposes a methodology called SDL-COVID, found that lung segmentation is crucial for accurate predictions. The study also demonstrated that excessive data augmentation can lead to model overfitting and decreased test accuracy. AI
