Realtime Face Mask Detection using Machine Learning

Abstract

The coronavirus COVID-19 causes a global health problem and therefore effective methods of wearing masks in common place according to the WHO. The COVID-19 epidemic forced governments all over the world impose many restrictions. Reports show that wearing mask while working significantly decrease the chance of getting affected. Effective and economical way to use Artificial Intelligence to develop some useful in production settings. The model using the face mask detection machine will be created. The detection database contains a mask and in addition to the facial images, we will use Open Computer Vision to achieve face mask detection in the webcam.
