CCTV based system for detection of anti-virus masks

摘要

This paper presents the use of neural networks to detect people with anti-virus masks. The algorithm allows to determine if a person has a correctly worn mask (covered nose and mouth). The use of neural networks has been compared with typical Haar cascade frontal face solutions available in the OpenCV library. The proposed solution has been checked for efficiency and precision, as well as for the minimum resolution requirements of the resulting facial image. The software works on still images as well as on video sequences from computer webcams and CCTV cameras.
