The COVID-19 pandemic that broke out in 2019 has affected the whole world, and in late 2021 the number of cases is still increasing rapidly. In addition, due to this pandemic, all people must follow the mask and cleaning rules. Herein, it is now mandatory to wear a mask in places where millions of people working in many workplaces work. For this reason, artificial intelligence-based systems that can detect face masks are becoming very popular today. In this study, a system that can automatically detect whether people are masked or not is proposed. In the dataset used in the study, there are a total of 440 images, 220 with masks and 220 without masks. Here, we extract image features from each image using the GoogLeNet deep learning architecture. Using the loss3-classifier layer of the GoogLeNet deep learning architecture, we obtain 1000 deep image features for each image. With the help of these image features, we train GoogLeNet based Linear Support Vector Machine (SVM), Quadratic SVM, and Coarse Gaussian SVM classifiers. Afterward, we develop a Graphical User Interface (GUI) application of the proposed system and a system that can detect masks from snapshots by saving the trained models. Thus, an application that is based on artificial intelligence and can automatically detect the mask has been developed. From the results, it appears that the accuracy (%), sensitivity (%), specificity (%) precision (%), F1 score (%), and Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) values of GoogLeNet based Linear SVM, Quadratic SVM, and Coarse Gaussian SVM classifiers are equal to 99.55-99.55-99.55-99.55-99.55-0.9909, 99.55-99.55-99.55-99.55-99.55-0.9909, and 99.55-99.09-100-100-99.54-0.9910, respectively. When the results are examined, it is seen that not all classifiers are superior to each other in terms of accuracy. However, while Linear SVM and Quadratic SVM classifiers are more successful in terms of sensitivity and F1 score, it is seen that the Coarse Gaussian SVM classifier is better in terms of specificity, precision, and MCC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
