Background: India has been fighting the pandemic with great spirit, with the unlocking phases being in motion the need to be proactive is now more than ever. Governments all around the world recognized the power of AI and ML in order to fight the pandemic. Since wearing a mask and avoiding crowded places is the only alternative until the vaccine is introduced, Computer vision in the form of mask detection can be a reviving factor to get life back to normal as we remember. Real-time mask detection can solve the monitoring issue in countries with large populations
Problem Statement Create a Face Mask Detector using CNN and OpenCV trained on the set of 1376 images consisting of two classes – with_mask and without_mask.
Tasks:
As a part of this project, you will be performing the following tasks:
- Prepare a detailed ipython notebook using CNN for detecting Face Masks in real-time
- Import Required Libraries
- Load and Pre-process the dataset
- Visualize the dataset
- Design a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) Model
- Compile the Model
- Train the Model
- Evaluate the Model
- Detect the Face Masks using the HaarCascade_frontalface_default.xml file in real-time
