Deep Learning Based Facemask Detection

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic created a massive impact on various sectors across the globe. Nearly 400 million people have been affected by Covid-19 as of January 2022. Although vaccines have been developed, only 49.8% of world population have been vaccinated. The W.H.O has advised the public to maintain social distance in crowded places and wear well fitted mask to impede the spread of corona virus. It has been made mandatory by most countries to wear mask in public places, human monitoring continuously is impossible hence we deploy Deep learning model to implement the same. In this paper we have trained mobilenetV2 architecture for facemask detection using custom dataset. The accuracy of the model in real time is 99.99%
