Abstract

Due to worldwide pandemic COVID-19, there arises a severe need of protection mechanismsto prevent man-to-man infection and face mask is one of the most important protection mechanisms. The basic aim of this study is to detect the presence of a face mask on human faces on live streaming video as well as on static images. The concept of Face Mask Detection System using Convolutional Neural Networks is to provide thousands of images of masked and non-masked individuals to a computer program and then train the computer program to recognize and distinguish the individuals in those images as masked or unmasked. In the present study the authors will use deep learning to develop face detector model. The proposed technique takes place in 2 phases. The first phase includes fine tuning a pre-trained classifier with our data set. The second phase includes applying the highly trained classifier to detect faces with masks and no masks. Alongside this, we shall use basic concepts of transfer learning in neural networks to finally output presence or absence of a face mask in an image or a video stream.
