Advanced Face Mask Detection System

ABSTRACT

COVID-19 pandemic caused a lot of loss and it is really important to give attention to technologies and ways to slow its spread and eventually stop it. Now in past few months, the government tried to open various sectors of society such as school gyms, etc. but failed and had to shut them down again due to increase in cases;we have seen a gradual increase in cases when the government tries to open these sectors because many persons were not so much attentive and were not following protocols properly. One of them is not wearing proper masks. Mask is a non-pharmaceutical measure that is used against primary spread of COVID by droplets. For people to follow protocols and wear masks, we are proposing a face mask detection device which will be effective to make people more aware to wear face masks by warning them who are not putting masks on their faces and restricting them to enter public places such as school, colleges, gym, etc. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
