Face Mask Detection Using Convolution Neural Network

Face recognition in the industry now is playing an important role in each sector. Each person has different type of features and face; therefore, each identity is unidentical. In this COVID outbreak, a major crisis has occurred due to which preventions are to be made. One such prevention is use of a face mask which is very much important. Nowadays, various firms and organizations are using facial recognition systems for their own general purpose. We all know that it has now been a crucial task to wear a mask every time, when we go somewhere. But as we know it is not possible to keep track of who wears a mask and who does not. We make the use of AI in our daily life. We achieve this with the help of a neural network system, which we train so that it can further describe people's features. Even though the original dataset was limited, the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model achieved exceptional accuracy utilizing the deep learning technique. With the use of a face mask detection dataset that contains both with and without face mask photographs, we are able to recognize faces in real-time from a live webcam stream using OpenCV. We will develop a COVID-19 face mask detection system using our dataset, along with Python, OpenCV, Tensor Flow, and Keras.
