COVID-19 or popularly known as Corona Virus has changed and disrupted our lives to such an extent that we humans are forced to lock ourselves inside the home and avoid any physical connection with someone else. During this phase we got to know the importance of Face Mask and Hand sanitizers that we usually neglect in our daily lives. We now avoid a person who is not wearing a face mask as it can cause you Covid-19. But sometimes it is very difficult for a human to detect out of many people, who is wearing mask or not. Thus I built a Computer Vision model that detects whether a person is wearing a mask or not using OpenCV and TensorFlow/Keras.
