INTRODUCTION:

The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped life as we know it. Many of us are staying home, avoid
people on the street and changing daily habits, like going to school or work, in ways we never
imagined.

While we are changing old behaviors, there are new routines we need to adopt. First and
foremost is the habit of wearing a mask or face covering whenever we are in a public space.

For example in an office it should be necessary for all the employs to wear a mask. So to
reduce the man power used in checking whether a person is wearing mask or not our project
will automate the process and will detect whether a person is wearing mask or not
Existing work with limitations

In the current scenario in all public place and offices uses a security guard to check whether people
are wearing a mask or not. The main problem that arises here are.

 Extra manpower

 Putting a person in a risky job

SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS :

a) Software requirements
• An Operating system
• Python 3.7 or higher
• Flask 1.0 or higher
• Any browser

b) Hardware Requirements
• Processor - Intel i5 or higher
• Disk space – 512 MB or higher
• Ram – 8GB or higher
• Camera
METHODOLOGY:

1. Training:

A dataset with images categorized into with_mask and without_mask is used .For testing
25% of the dataset is used. For testing, the image are preprocessed . The preprocessed data is
used for making the model. The remaining images in the dataset and some augmented data that
was created are used to train the model. The trained model is saved and the accuracy, loss graph
is plotted.

2. Deployment:

The trained model is loaded, the faces are detected in video stream and then the region of
interest (ROI) is extracted, Finally the face mask detector model is applied and faces in video
streams are classified as with mask or without mask.

CONCLUSION:

This corona time, we have to use masks and hand sanitizer everywhere and in almost all
places automatic hand sanitizer machines will be available.

This project can be easily be implemented in exiting surveillance systems and can used in
public places like hospitals, offices, airports, etc.
