1. Introduction

The year 2020 has shown mankind some mind-boggling series of events amongst which the
COVID- 19 pandemic is the most life-changing event which has startled the world since the year
began. Affecting the health and lives of masses, COVID-19 has called for strict measures to be
followed in order to prevent the spread of disease. From the very basic hygiene standards to the
treatments in the hospitals, people are doing all they can for their own and the society’s safety; face
masks are one of the personal protective equipment. People wear face masks once they step out of
their homes and authorities strictly ensure that people are wearing face masks while they are in
groups and public places. To monitor that people are following this basic safety principle, a strategy
should be developed. A face mask detector system can be implemented to check this. Face mask
detection means to identify whether a person is wearing a mask or not. The first step to recognize
the presence of a mask on the face is to detect the face, which makes the strategy divided into two
parts: to detect faces and to detect masks on those faces.

Face detection is one of the applications of object detection and can be used in many areas like
security, biometrics, law enforcement and more. There are many detect- tor systems developed
around the world and being implemented. However, all this science needs optimization; a better,
more precise detector, because the world cannot afford any more increase in corona cases. In this
project, we will be developing a face mask detector that is able to distinguish between faces with
masks and faces with no masks. In this report, we have proposed a detector which employs SSD for
face detection and a neural network to detect presence of a face mask. The implementation of the
algorithm is on images, videos and live video streams. The rest of the report is organized as follows.

1.2 Purpose
The Face Mask Detection System can be used at offices, institutes and other public places
to detect if employees are maintaining safety standards at work. After the breakout of the
worldwide pandemic COVID-19, there arises a severe need of protection mechanisms, face mask
being the primary one. The basic aim of the project is to detect the presence of a face mask on
human faces on live streaming video as well as on images. We have used deep learning to
develop our face detector model. Alongside this, we have used basic concepts of transfer learning
in neural networks to finally output presence or absence of a face mask in an image.

1.4 Project Objective

To identify the person on image/video stream wearing face mask with the help of computer vision
and deep learning algorithm by using the python, Opencv, Tenserflow, Keras library.The goal of
face mask detection is to determine if there are any faces in the live streaming video. If multiple
faces are present, each face is enclosed by a bounding box and thus we know the location of the
faces. Human faces are difficult to model as there are many variables that can change for example
facial expression, orientation, lighting conditions and partial occlusions such as sunglasses, scarf,
mask etc. The result of the detection gives the face location parameters and it could be required in
various forms, for instance, a rectangle covering the central part of the face, eye centers or
landmarks including eyes, nose and mouth corners, eyebrows, nostrils, etc.

The external oversight committee must approve the project performance measurement plan.

Agency Goals Project Objectives

 To collect the dataset from Kaggle
 Distributing the dataset for Testing

i.e. giving 100% if mask is properly on
the face.
 Providing output in form rectangle about
status of facemask(i.e. Green rectangle if
mask is properly on the face and red
otherwise)

1.6 Project Scope

Face detection is one of the applications of object detection and can be used in many areas like
security, biometrics, law enforcement and more. There are many detect- tor systems developed
around the world and being implemented. However, all this science needs optimization; a better,
more precise detector, because the world cannot afford any more increase in corona cases. In this
project, we will be developing a face mask detector that is able to distinguish between faces with
masks and faces with no masks. In this report, we have proposed a detector which employs SSD for
face detection and a neural network to detect presence of a face mask.

 Detecting facemask from both genders

 Detecting the position of facemask
 Giving output in the form of rectangle around the mask. Red for not properly on the face and
green in case not properly on the face.

2. Overall Description

The External Interface Requirements can be described as follow:

Government College University Faisalabad Page 8

2.1 Product Perspective

We introduce a mask face detection model that is based on computer vision and deep learning.
The proposed model can be integrated with surveillance cameras to impede the COVID-19
transmission by allowing the detection of people who are wearing masks and not wearing face
masks. The model is integration between deep learning and classical machine learning
techniques with Opencv, tensor flow, mobilenetv2 and keras. We have used deep transfer
leering for feature extractions and combined it with three classical machine learning algorithms.
We introduced a comparison between them to find the most suitable algorithm that achieved the
highest accuracy and consumed the least time in the process of training and detection. 

2.2 Product Features

 Real Time Face Mask Detection

 Detect Many Faces At the Same time
 Cover Distance up to 3 meters mainly depends on camera quality

automatic manner. By focusing this phenomena the project will be developed with less or no human
interaction.

2.4 Operating Environment

We used this model in windows 7 or latest version of windows. There is no server required for
this software it can freely run on windows system.

2.5 Design and Implementation Constraints

A multiplayer neural network (MLP) is used for the algorithm and a hidden layer containing
neurons. And information flow in the system and the way the becoming indistinct, and finally put
Government College University Faisalabad Page 9

the corner where device, a process or a system in sufficient detail to a human operator has to find
the comers, his geometric height and width lip envelope description. Implicitly uses the global
shape of mouth. He follows only work with the area around the lips. Because of all Outputs are
independently normalized in the range parameterization for later identification. [5, 6]. We have
pictures were taken with the seated people and at the predefined block of 245 by 245 pixels. Same
distance, this area is selected in all picture in the same position, i.e., we suppose that the lips area
inside a system works. Design is process of applying the various techniques and principles for the
purpose of defining a The MLP used was trained with back propagation the detailed design of the
system describes the data the upper and lower edges extend them when they are, they intersect. We
propose an adjustment process that works the same way. Detection is the first step in LISP..

The implementation methodology outlines key activities that should be considered and planned for
when developing or implementing an underwriting system. It begins with the design and
development activities involved in obtaining policy details, as a specification, provides a guideline
to develop and implement underwriting system.

2.6 User Documentation

This model will be trained and tested after using the required tools. The trained model will be
helpful to the developer to implement in any application or cameras. The manual for developer
will be in the form of documentation in which the guidelines will be given in step by step
manner.

2.7 Assumptions and Dependencies

The model is assumed to work in real-time environment and will be able to detect the face mask
even at the night mode of the camera. As the model is used with less human interaction that is
why the dependencies for this model are CCTV camera, Open CV, Keras, Jupyter Noteebok for
Python and Tensorflow

live video streaming.
 Stimulus/Response Sequences. It works like a real time
system and alert with red sign weather a person not wearing a
mask and it shows green signal when person wear mask.
3.1.2 Functional Requirements

Functional requirements reflect the core functionality of the model. The functional
requirements are detecting the face mask from person face. Identifying the position
of the face mask. Finally notifying about that either the mask is on the face or not.

4. External Interface Requirements

The External Interface Requirements can be described as follow:

4.1 User Interfaces

5. Other Nonfunctional Requirements

The non-functional requirements can be detection of face mask at night. Designing the interface to
operate this model in easy sense. That is why bright color schemes and attractive graphics are the
part of non-functional requirements.

5.1 Performance Requirements

The face mask detection system uses AI technology to detect the person with or without a mask.
It can be connected with any surveillance system installed at your premise. The authorities or
admin can check the person through the system to confirm their identity. The system sends an
alert message to the authorized person if someone has entered the premise without a face mask.
The accuracy rate of detecting a person with a face mask is 95-97% depending on the digital
capabilities. The data has been transferred and stored automatically in the system to enable
reports whenever you want.

5.2 Safety Requirements

Humans are error-prone, we will check our training model by getting a plot graph and after that
we can say that this software is error free.

5.3 Security Requirements

The model will be embedded in any secure application so that any intruder or hacker may not
hack the system to change its work. But in this type of model security is not concerned.
