Face Mask Detection Overview

Face mask detection is an image analytics technology powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision that addresses Covid-19 noncompliance. Its AI programme detects violations such as face mask detection and social distance detection. This system can be used in hospitals, office buildings, manufacturing plants, government offices, schools, educational institutes, construction sites, and airports, among other places. Real-time alerts can be generated by the camera with AI-based face mask detection and social distance monitoring. Face mask identification employs the camera's visible stream mixed with AI algorithms to recognize and inform people who aren't wearing face masks. In the fight against the corona virus, social distance has proven to be a highly effective strategy for slowing the disease's transmission.

Impact Analysis of COVID-19 on the Global Face Mask Detection Market

Many business sectors experienced a downturn as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, pushing brick-and-mortar retailers around the world to adapt their business models. After state governments eased the lockdown guidelines, people moving outdoors during the pandemic faced heavy social distancing and isolation norms (often imposed by local government authorities); face masks and temperature checks for consumers were instated outside malls and shopping complexes. Additionally, organizations with employees returning to work were told to enforce face masks, appropriate hygiene, and social distancing guidelines inside the workplace. These developments necessitated the construction of a face mask detecting system, resulting in market expansion.

Compulsion of Face Mask Usage for high Public Safety in the Wake of Pandemic is likely to Drive the Market Growth

Worldwide, the COVID-19 outbreak has posed a severe healthcare concern. COVID-19 infection is spread mostly through respiratory droplets produced when people breathe, talk, cough, or sneeze, as per the U.S. based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The basic, effective, and practical technique of blocking 80% of all respiratory infections is to wear a mask. As a result, a variety of face mask detection and monitoring technologies have been created to provide effective supervision in public places such as airports, publication transit, hospitals, sporting events, and retail locations.

Wearing a face mask, in addition to social distancing, is an effective strategy to keep the people safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to studies, wearing a mask can reduce the risk of infection by 65%. The utility of face masks increased when the virus's 'Delta' form demonstrated overwhelming dominance in the UK, accounting for 99% of recent infections. In August 2021, the United Kingdom had the most Delta variant cases of around 127,633. Also, as per the data recorded by Global Data’s Pharma Intelligence Centre, the United States had the second greatest number of instances, with 75,525 cases followed by India, Turkey, and Denmark. As such, the face mask detection technology will prove as an alternative to keep in check the spread of virus and limit the growth of infections.

Privacy Concerns and Accuracy in Mask Detection to Restrain the Growth of the Global Industry

Accuracy of face mask detection and privacy concerns among citizens are likely to impede the growth of the face mask detection market. However, the developers of mask recognition software deny the issue of privacy concerns as the systems do not truly identify the people. Such software is based on the algorithm how to recognize a face (face detection) and recognize a mask on a face ("mask recognition"). As it doesn't employ algorithms that identify with faces, the machine learning algorithm doesn't recognize the faces in any manner that can connect a face to a specific individual.

Innovative Technologies to Detect Face Mask are likely to Foster the Growth of Face Mask Detection

The current technologies are evolving to detect the face masks more accurately and precisely. In April 2020, US based software solution provider, LeewayHertz, unveiled its Face Mask Detection System, an app that detects persons who aren't wearing a face mask using CCTV, computer vision, and AI. The software was developed with public places such as airports, hospitals, and businesses in mind, and it alerts CCTV operators to personnel and members of the public who are not following mask guidelines. Furthermore, those behind the software that recognize masks are convinced that privacy laws will be upheld because the algorithms don't identify the person, only the fact that their nose and mouth aren't covered. Such developments will present growing opportunities for public departments to adopt face mask detection solutions and monitor the public without infringing privacy rights.
