Smart Face Recognition with Mask/No Mask Detection

Ever since Covid-19 has affected our lives, the use of masks in public places has taken extreme importance. Be it restaurants, shopping malls, workplaces, airports or any other public place, wearing a mask is essential for the safety of oneself as well as the others. However, there are always some defaulters who will not wear a mask putting all at risk. In this paper, a mask/no mask detector has been implemented to identify such defaulters. Also, a face recognition system has been incorporated to identify those who are not wearing a mask. This setup could be used in offices or any other place of public gathering to ensure the safety of one and all. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
