Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has been spreading globally and has been influencing the daily life of human beings in addition to the economies of most countries around the globe. Early and accurate detection of COVID-19 coronavirus is crucial to prevent and control its outbreak using medical treatment and timely quarantine. The daily massive increases in the cases of COVID-19 patients worldwide and the limited solutions of the available diagnosing techniques have resulted in difficulties in pointing out the presence of the disease. Wherefore, the necessity arises to find other alternatives by leveraging the artificial intelligence (AI) models which create intelligent entities that have demonstrated themselves particularly successful due to their spectacular innovations in video processing and image, in addition to their highly accurate projection models. This survey contributes to studying the state of the art of the AI models that have been fighting against the COVID-19, highlighting the limitations that are significant and present noteworthy barriers to struggle with a pandemic, and recommends the trends for the incoming research on the pandemic.
