Abstract:
Deep learning will be used in this research to build Face mask detection. To minimise
adverse consequences on public health and global economic growth, establishing
efficient COVID-19 pandemic control strategies must be given top priority. In the
absence of strong antivirals, the WHO recommends a variety of methods to lower
infection rates and prevent draining the existing medical resources. One non-
pharmaceutical intervention strategy that can be utilised to reduce the main source of
SARS-Covid2 droplets released by an infected person is wearing a mask. All nations
now require masks over the mouth and nose when in public, regardless of debates over
medical resources and the variety of masks available. Our goal is to develop a very
precise and real-time system that can effectively identify non-mask faces in public and
enforce the wearing of masks in order to contribute to societal health. Several
algorithms and strategies have been used to develop numerous face detection models.
Deep learning, TensorFlow, Keras, and OpenCV are used in the proposed technique
in this work to identify face masks. Given that it uses extremely little resources to
install, this model can be utilised for safety-related applications. The SSDMNV2
technique, which is very light and can even be utilised in embedded devices to conduct
real-time mask detection, employs the Single Shot Multibox Detector as a face detector
and MobilenetV2 architecture as a framework for the classifier. Codeigniter
framework is used for the development of CMS portal where CSV parser is used to
read and write data in a CSV format.
