Description
Summary:In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a critical demand for protective measures, with face masks emerging as a primary safeguard. The approach involves a two-fold strategy: first, recognizing the presence of a face by detecting faces, and second, identifying masks on those faces. This project utilizes deep learning to create a model that can detect face masks in real-time streaming video as well as images. Face detection, a facet of object detection, finds applications in diverse fields such as security, biometrics, and law enforcement. Various detector systems worldwide have been developed and implemented, with convolutional neural networks chosen for their superior performance accuracy and speed in object detection. Experimental results attest to the model's excellent accuracy on test data. The primary focus of this research is to enhance security, particularly in sensitive areas. The research paper proposes a rapid image pre-processing method with masks centred on faces. Employing feature extraction and Convolutional Neural Network, the system classifies and detects individuals wearing masks. The research unfolds in three stages: image pre-processing, image cropping, and image classification, collectively contributing to the identification of masked faces. Continuous surveillance through webcams or CCTV cameras ensures constant monitoring, triggering a security alert if a person is detected without a mask.
