Abstract

Human-like thinking abilities can be simulated in machines to achieve artificial intelligence (AI) for making predictions, helping make decisions, classification, etc. Algorithms for machine learning (ML) can be employed to train and deploy models into various applications. Deep learning is an ML consisting of artificial neural networks (ANNs) augmented with multiple abstraction layers, useful for processes of pattern recognition or classification, supported by large datasets. In the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic situation, one such application of AI and deep learning is the detection of face masks to help impede the transmission of infection. In this paper, firstly, the concepts of AI, data analytics for AI, ML, deep learning, neural networks, and use of technologies for smart cities are discussed in detail. This is followed by highlighting the application of these technologies in the event of a pandemic—face mask detection, using OpenCV (Open source Computer Vision), TensorFlow, and Keras, and achieving up to 99% accuracy in detection.
