Abstract

Detecting faces is a prevalent and substantial technology in current ages. It became interesting with the use of diverse masks and facial variations. The proposed method concentrates on detecting the facial regions in the digital images from real world which contains noisy, occluded faces and finally classification of images. Multi-task cascaded convolutional neural network (MTCNN)—a hybrid model with deep learning and machine learning to facial region detection is proposed. MTCNN has been applied on face detection dataset with mask and without mask images to perform real-time face detection and to build a face mask detector with OpenCV, convolutional neural networks, TensorFlow and Keras. The proposed system can be used as an application in the recent COVID-19 pandemic situations for detecting a person wears mask or not in controlling the spread of COVID-19.
