Identification of Non-Vaccinated People Using Face Recognition Based on CNN

ABSTRACT

Preventive medical care relies on vaccinations to provide significant health benefits. Vaccination is an important and effective preventive health measure. There is no better way to reduce the risk of pandemic spread of SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 than vaccination. As a preventive measure, the government has begun vaccinating Indians against Corona infection. It is therefore important, in addition to developing and supplying vaccines, that enough people are willing to obtain vaccines. However, of the populations worldwide, there are concerning proportions that are reluctant to get vaccinated. In order to end the pandemic, it is highly essential to deal with another omnipresent issue outright rejection of vaccinations. To achieve population immunity first we have to find the non-vaccinated population should be detected and to this end, this project proposed an Aadhaar-based facial recognition system is used to find non-vaccinated citizen and alert them using Artificial Intelligence. Deep learning which is in the form of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are used to carry out the face recognition process and it is also proven to be an efficient method to carry out face recognition due to its high fidelity. A CNN is a Deep Neural Network (DNN), which is designed to perform challenging tasks like image processing, which is crucial for facial recognition. The CNN structure is composed of numerous layers of neurons that connect the neurons an input layer, an output layer, and layers between these two layers. In the midst of the epidemic coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19), a person's current inoculation status will be updated based on face recognition to safeguard him/her from COVID-19 and it may also serve as proof of vaccination for other purposes. Facial recognition technology (FRT) along with the Aadhaar helps to authenticate people before entering into any types of service. This project provides COVID-19 immunization status, which is determined by observing at their face, and certify that they have been vaccinated. © 2022 IEEE.
