Covid 19 has contributed to the creation of a whole new playing field.

Everyone
realized that their lives will change irreversibly. This rapid transformation of
society is leading to engineers having to adapt their skill sets and
understandings. They need to be flexible, reliable and have the ability to answer
those questions that arise from the new circumstances that surround our newfound
environment. Actions need to be taken to secure the workplace and to keep ourselves
and our loved ones safe. New rules and regulations were introduced in order to stop
the further spread of COVID-19 and maintain public health. This has resulted in a
wave of new innovations made specifically to ensure that these new rules and
regulations are being followed. With the help of technology, we can make sure to
establish a better quality of life for everyone. Although face masks are getting to
be a whole new implemented standard for daily life, yet, to build a safe
environment that contributes to public safety, it becomes necessary to be observant
throughout the day and to take actions against those who are not wearing a mask in
public places or workplaces. Many parts of society seem to be accepting some Covid
tracking tools for safety. The face mask detector can be a very effective and
reliable tool. This system enables to identify who is without a required face mask.
These systems work with existing surveillance systems along with innovative neural
network algorithms to check whether a person is wearing a face mask or not. In this
report, we will briefly discuss artificial intelligence and its subsets namely
machine learning and deep learning, deep learning frameworks followed by a simple
implementation for face mask detection system.
