Abstract

Nowadays, Covid-19 pandemic has penetrated all the human beings daily life. One of the most common and strongest way to prevent spread is wearing a face mask in public places. People gained a new term to their vocabulary; “new normal”. The new normal contains wearing a face mask as well. Therefore, a face mask recognition system is a vital need for helping daily life processes. This paper acquaints a face mask recognition to identify masked and unmasked faces to support Covid-19 policies. The face mask recognition in this paper developed by deep learning algorithm using the CNN architecture VGG-16. Our results suggest that deep learning-based method achieved high accuracy (99%) in both the validation and testing datasets.
