Automated Gate Control System using Face Mask Detection

This research paper gives a brief idea of controlling entrance gates of different areas like metro stations, railway stations, airports, corporate offices, restaurants, hotels and home with the face mask detection technology. In this, the camera will capture the real time video of a person using Artificial Intelligence[15],whosoever is entering the gate, processes the video and detects if the concerned person is wearing the mask properly or not. If the person is wearing a mask then the gate will open, if not then the gate will remain closed until the mask has been worn properly. The main motivation for this project comes from the current situation in the world where Covid-19 is spreading at a pace which is being difficult to control. This upcoming technology prototype can fuel in new ideas into different projects which are already ongoing to battle the pandemic. Also, the scope of this technology is not just limited to the face mask detection and has a wider and a more complex use-case in the real world.
