Real Time Face Mask Identification using AI-Deep Learning Neural Network

Abstract

The COVID - 19 pandemic is devastating mankind irrespective of caste, creed, gender, and religion. Contribution of each individual to constrain the expansion of the corona- virus. Is a primary objective/Fundamental duties as a responsible individual to Use a face mask can undoubtedly help in managing the spread of the virus. COVID - 19 face mask Detector uses or owns Facemask net, deep learning techniques to successfully test whether a person is with wearing a face mask or not. In this project we are working on “FACE MASK IDENTIFICATION USING AI DEEP LEARNING NEURAL NETWORK”. The end of 2019 witnessed the outbreak of Corona virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), which has continued to be the cause of plight for millions of lives and businesses even in 2020. As the world recovers from the pandemic and plans to return to a state of normalcy, there is a wave of anxiety among all individuals, especially those who intend to resume in-person activity. Studies have proved that wearing a face mask significantly reduces the risk of viral transmission as well as provides a sense of protection. However, it is not feasible to manually track the implementation of this policy. Technology holds the key here. We are using a Deep Learning based system that can detect instances where face masks are not used properly. Our system consists of a faster region-based Convolution Neural Network (FRCNN) architecture capable of detecting masked and unmasked faces and can be integrated with preinstalled CCTV cameras. This will help track safety violations, promote the use of face masks, and ensure a safe working environment.
