Face Mask Based Automatic Door System to ensure COVID-19 Precautionary Measures
Project Area of Specialization Artificial IntelligenceProject SummaryThis project intends to create an automatic system that identifies face masks and controls the door opening and closing based on the masks being worn. The door will automatically open if the person is wearing a mask. And if the person is not wearing a mask, the door will remain shut and the person will be unable to enter the premises. This technology will assist educational institutions, enterprises, stores, and offices in adhering to COVID-19 rules and assisting in mask inspection - eliminating the need for a supervisor or security personnel.
This project can be used in a variety of ways. More progress can be made by merging this automatic system with a facial recognition system to create a new system that can recognise people wearing masks. This new system can then be utilised for automatic attendance in schools, colleges, and offices, as well as for aptitude testing and entrance examinations for automatic authentication. This system can also be put in a building for security purposes.
This project could be improved even further to create an automatic system that uses an infrared thermometer gun and face masks to manage the door opening and closing based on the person's body temperature. If a person's body temperature is below normal, the door will automatically open. The door will remain shut and the person will be unable to enter the premises if the person's body temperature is higher than normal.
a) Developing an automatic system for detecting face masks and controls the door opening and closing based on the masks being worn;
b) The system is user-friendly and cost-effective;
c) The system will assist in the implementation and monitoring of COVID-19 preventive measures without the need for a supervisor or security personnel.
An experimental setup is required to achieve the goal of such a complicated system. Detection and image acquisition, image processing, image extraction, hardware, and door control are the six steps that make up the setup's architecture. We will take a closer look at the architectural arrangement and how it operates in the following sections:
1. Sensor Detection and Image Acquisition:
Ultrasonic detectors positioned at the gate identify when someone enters and transmit a signal to the camera to snap a picture of them. The image acquisition method is hard since the image must have minimal rotations, excellent lighting, high image resolution, and the individual must be easily recognisable in the photo.
2. Image Processing:
The acquired image is then processed to improve the image's clarity, resolution, and pixels, as well as to remove any unwanted light effects from the photo and any other interference with the mask's display.
3. Image Extraction:
From the processed image, an image concentrating just on the person's face is extracted.
4. Mask Detection:
From the extracted image, the automatic system determines the presence or absence of a mask on the person's face.
5. Signal to the Motor:
The automatic system provides a signal to the gate's motor, which regulates the opening and closing of the gate.
6. Door Control:
If the person wearing the mask is detected, a signal is transmitted to the motor, which opens the door. However, if the person does not wear a face mask, the door will remain shut.
Keeping check and balance and guaranteeing adherence to all relevant protocols in public spaces is critical in the event of a worldwide pandemic. An automatic system is proposed for this purpose, which checks people's face masks and regulates people's door entry based on that information. The goal of this project is to develop an automatic system that uses a face mask to open and close doors in any structure. This project will be able to recognise an entering person's face mask, after which the system will direct the door's opening. The door will remain closed if a person is not wearing a face mask. The purpose is to assist company, school, and restaurant owners in implementing and monitoring COVID-19 policies and preventative measures without requiring the services of a supervisor or security professionals.
