Retracted: Face Mask Detection and Recognition System

As today a disease called COVID-19 is causing health crisis and deaths, it became most essential to wear a mask for protecting ourselves from Corona virus. Even in public areas, where is more rush we should wear mask as no virus can spread from person to person if any one of person from public is Corona positive. This paper introduces face mask detection that can be used by the authorities to make mitigation, evaluation, prevention, and action planning against COVID19. So basically in this project we are going to use Python, Keras, OpenCV alongwith MobileNet for this Face Mask Detection System. This includes some steps like data preprocessing, training and testing the model, run and view the accuracy and applying model in the camera. The inputs has provided here are 1000+ images of people with mask and without mask. First the data get processed and then by checking features of each image it will train all the models and the persons with and without mask get separated to two categories: with mask and without mask. If person is wearing mask with 90 or more percent of accuracy, then he will get added to with mask category and person not wearing mask get added to without mask category, so that we can permit with mask person to public areas.
