Abstract
One has to wear a mask properly, be checked for normal temperature, and be sanitized before entering the building. Currently, the watchman of the building or certain people specially hired for the role, are performing the above tasks manually. Although the manual process has its benefits, this is quite a time taking process and also has the danger of exposing the person at the checking booth to the corona affected patients directly. Keeping the gigantically pervasive corona pandemic in mind, if the above process goes automatic, it could reduce the manpower, eliminate the danger of contact with corona patients, use time efficiently, and would be cost-effective. It is a fact that face mask recognition systems already exist, but a complete system for all the above-mentioned tasks does not exist at the moment. Our idea is to propose a system called “Automated Face Mask Verification and Tempera-ture Verification using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and DHT11” which includes all the above functionalities that would be done automatically without the physical presence of anyone. To achieve the major objective called accuracy in Face Mask Verification, CNN models are chosen as model training algorithms. This system also explores how to achieve contactless temperature verification reliably using the most popular cost-efficient, contact sensor called DHT11 with a comparative analysis on the existing contactless temperature measurement techniques.
