ABSTRACT:
In this paper, we introduce an affordable “Real Time Face Mask Detection and Thermal Screening for Covid – 19’’ indoor and outdoor safety by covering several relevant aspects like mask detection etc., Mask detection check are performed by leveraging computer vision techniques on camera-equipped Raspberry Pi. It helps the organizations respect the COVID-19 safety rules and guidelines in order to reduce the disease spread. We decided to use other small devices due to their size and affordability which will detect the persons Temperature, Pulse and ensure whether he/she is vaccinated or not.
INTRODUCTION
Since the end of 2019, infectious coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been reported for the first time in Wuhan, and it has become a public damage fitness issue in China and even worldwide. The pandemic has devastating effects on societies and economies around the world causing a global health crisis. It is an emerging respiratory infectious disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). All over the world, especially in the third wave, COVID-19 has been a significant healthcare challenge. Many shutdowns in different industries have been caused by this pandemic. In addition, many sectors such as maintenance projects and infrastructure construction have not been suspended owing to their significant effect on people’s routine life.
By now, the virus has rapidly spread to the majority of the countries worldwide. Last statistics (04/05/2021) provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) show 152,543452 confirmed cases and 3198528 deaths. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), coronavirus infection is transmitted predominantly by respiratory droplets produced when people breathe, talk, cough, or sneeze with common
droplet size 5–10’m but, the aerosol emission increases when humans speak and shout loudly. Tomography (CT) and X-ray can lead to a more accurate detection of the COVID-19 and can help to control the problem of lack of specialized physicians in isolated villages. .In this context, authors have suggested a novel convolutional neural network (AI)-based method for detecting COVID-19, with analyzing chest X-ray (CXR) images.
