ABSTRACT
On the edge of the worldwide public health crisis, the COVID-19 disease has become a serious headache for its destructive nature on humanity worldwide. Wearing a facial mask can be an effective possible solution to mitigate the spreading of the virus and reduce the death rate. Thus, wearing a face mask in public places such as shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, homes, and offices needs to be enforced. This research work comes up with a solution of mask surveillance system utilizing the mechanism of modern computations like Deep Learning (DL), Internet of things (IoT), and Blockchain. The absence or displacement of the mask will be identified with a raspberry pi, a camera module, and the operations of DL and Machine Learning (ML). The detected information will be sent to the cloud server with the mechanism of IoT for real-time data monitoring. The proposed model also includes a Blockchain-based architecture to secure the transactions of mask detection and create efficient data security,monitoring, and storage fromintruders. This research further includes an IoT-based mask detection scheme with signal bulbs, alarms, and notifications in the smartphone. To find the efficacy of the proposed method, a set of experiments has been enumerated and interpreted. This research work finds the highest accuracy of 99.95% in the detection and classification of facial masks. Some related experiments with IoT and Block-chain-based integration have also been performed and calculated the corresponding experimental data accordingly.ASystemUsability Scale (SUS) has been accomplished to check the satisfaction level of use and found the SUS score of 77%. Further, a comparison among existing solutions on three emergent technologies is included to track the significance of the proposed scheme. However, the proposed system can be an efficient mask surveillance system for COVID-19 and workable in real-time mask detection and classification. © 2022 Tech Science Press. All rights reserved.
