Real-Time Face Mask Detection in Mass Gatherings to Reduce Covid-19 Spread

Abstract

The Covid 19 (coronavirus) pandemic has become one of the most lethal health crises worldwide. This virus gets transmitted from a person by respiratory droplets when they sneeze or when they speak. According to leading and well-known scientists, wearing face masks and maintaining six feet of social distance are the most substantial protections to limit the virus’s spread. In the proposed model we have used the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm of Deep Learning (DL) to ensure efficient real-time mask detection. We have divided the system into two parts—1. Train Face Mask Detector 2. Apply Face Mask Detector—for better understanding. This is a realtime application that is used to discover or detect the person who is wearing a mask at the proper position or not, with the help of camera detection. The system has achieved an accuracy of 99% after being trained with the dataset, which contains around 1376 images of width and height 224×224 and also gives the alarm beep message after the detection of no mask or improper mask usage in a public place.
