Machine Learning and Deep Transfer Learning approaches were used to create a Face Mask Identification model for COVID-19

ABSTRACT

COVID-19 pandemic has led to an international health emergency the WHO considers wearing a face mask an appropriate form of public health protection. This work will describe a face mask identification model that incorporates both deep and traditional machine learning techniques. Parts of the suggested model can be divided into two. Using Resnet50, the initial part of the system is set up for feature extraction. The second component classifies face masks using decision trees, support vector machines (SVMs), and the ensemble approach. The research will focus on three face-masked datasets. The Real-World Masked Face Dataset Includes three datasets real-world masked faces, simulated faces, and wild faces (LFW). 99.64% of RMFD's SVM classifier is accurate throughout testing.. It achieved a 99.49% accuracy rate in SMFD and a 100% accuracy rate in LFW. © 2022 IEEE.
