Face Mask Detection and Door Unlocking System Using Deep Learning

Abstract: Recent viral outbreaks have disrupted people's lives and culminated in a pandemic that largely affected all of humanity. Due to COVID -19, many people are forced to stay home but many people are going outside because of many reasons. As people visit any office they must wear masks. But many people don’t wear them due to reluctance, this project is to check if the employees visiting the office wear masks or not. Making use of deep learning, we have built a system that can figure out if an individual is wearing a mask or not. This system may be used in many different locations, such as offices, malls, hospitals, and even private homes. The use of servo motors allows the door to be locked if any individual is not wearing a mask, and a buzzer can be used to warn the person to put on a mask. By using a Raspberry Pi and other existing systems, we can keep the cost of the system as low as possible, making it accessible to a wide range of people
