  The contagious and pandemic COVID-19 disease is currently considered as the
main health concern and posed widespread panic across human-beings. It affects
the human respiratory tract and lungs intensely. So that it has imposed
significant threats for premature death. Although, its early diagnosis can play
a vital role in revival phase, the radiography tests with the manual
intervention are a time-consuming process. Time is also limited for such manual
inspecting of numerous patients in the hospitals. Thus, the necessity of
automatic diagnosis on the chest X-ray or the CT images with a high efficient
performance is urgent. Toward this end, we propose a novel method, named as the
ULGFBP-ResNet51 to tackle with the COVID-19 diagnosis in the images. In fact,
this method includes Uniform Local Binary Pattern (ULBP), Gabor Filter (GF),
and ResNet51. According to our results, this method could offer superior
performance in comparison with the other methods, and attain maximum accuracy.
