Abstract

The whole world is passing through a very difficult time since the outbreak of Covid-19. Wave after wave of this pandemic hitting people very hard across the globe. We have lost around 3.8 million lives so far to this pandemic. Moreover, the impact of this pandemic and the pandemic-induced lockdown on the lives and livelihoods of the people in the developing world is very significant. Till now there is no one-shot remedy available to stop this pandemic. However, spread can be controlled by social distancing, frequent hand sanitization, and using a face mask in public places. So, in this paper, we proposed a model to detect face mask of people in public places. The proposed model uses OpenCv module to pre-process the input images, it then uses a deep learning classifier MobileNetV3 for face mask detection. The accuracy of the proposed model is almost 97%. The proposed model is very light and can be installed on any mobile or embedded system.
