Mask Detection Algorithm for Public Places Entering Management During COVID-19 Epidemic Situation
Abstract
COVID-19 now is spreading fast all over the world. Wearing masks has proven to be an effective way to prevent COVID-19 to some extent. This paper studies a mask detection algorithm for public places entering management during COVID-19 epidemic situation. Only people wearing masks are allowed to enter. Cameras are fixed at the entrances of public places and take photos of people who are coming in. Then, a series of pre-processing are performed, including face detection, normalization, etc. Residual network is used as the classifier. Simulation results show that the average recognition accuracy can reach 90%. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
