Facemask Detection System Using CNN Model

Abstract

Global trade and transportation have been impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic, which has quickly affected our everyday activities. One of the best ways to stop the Covid-19 virus from transmitting is to wear a face mask. As a result, the World Health Organization (WHO) advised wearing masks as a precaution in crowded areas. Not only COVID-19, wearing mask can reduce the risk of many infectious diseases. In certain places, diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites spread quickly due to the inappropriate usage of face masks. Many public services providers demand that their clientele participate in their services while suitably dressed in masks. Therefore, identifying face masks has become a crucial duty in supporting global civilization. This paper develops face mask detection system with an alert that detects the presence of a mask in real-time. The proposed system accurately examines the face from the picture and then determines whether it is covered by a mask or not. A notification can be issued to the administrator if the camera records an unrecognizable face. After that, the administrator will be able to track down the infringer. © 2023 IEEE.
