Abstract
Example aspects include a method, an apparatus and a computer-readable medium of enforcing a mask wearing rule, comprising monitoring video frames of one or more video feeds. The aspects further include detecting a person in at least one video frame of the video frames. The at least one video frame corresponding to a first area of one or more areas. Additionally, the aspects further include determining whether the person is in violation of a mask wearing rule. Additionally, the aspects further include generating an alert in response to determining that the person is in violation of the mask wearing rule.
Claims19
A method of detecting mask usage, comprising:
- monitoring video frames of one or more video feeds;
- detecting a person in at least one video frame of the video frames, the at least one video frame corresponding to a first area of one or more areas;
- detecting one or more detected facial features within the at least one video frame via a facial feature detection algorithm;
- determining that the one or more detected facial features of the person comprise one or more particular facial features;
- determining an occupancy rate of an enforcement area;
- determining, in response to the occupancy rate exceeding an occupancy rate threshold, that the person is in violation of a mask wearing rule when the one or more detected facial features comprise the one or more particular facial features;
- and
- generating an alert in response to determining that the person is in violation of the mask wearing rule.
An apparatus for detecting mask usage, comprising:
- a non-transitory memory storing computer-executable instructions;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled with the non-transitory memory and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
- monitor video frames of one or more video feeds;
- detect a person in at least one video frame of the video frames, the at least one video frame corresponding to a first area of one or more areas;
- detect one or more detected facial features within the at least one video frame via a facial feature detection algorithm;
- determine that the one or more detected facial features of the person comprise one or more particular facial features;
- determine an occupancy rate of an enforcement area;
- determine, in response to the occupancy rate exceeding an occupancy rate threshold, that the person is in violation of a mask wearing rule when the one or more detected facial features comprise the one or more particular facial features;
- and
- generate an alert in response to determining that the person is in violation of the mask wearing rule.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions for detecting mask usage, executable by a processor to:
- monitor video frames of one or more video feeds;
- detect a person in at least one video frame of the video frames, the at least one video frame corresponding to a first area of one or more areas;
- detect one or more detected facial features within the at least one video frame via a facial feature detection algorithm;
- determine that the one or more detected facial features of the person comprise one or more particular facial features;
- determine an occupancy rate of an enforcement area;
- determine, in response to the occupancy rate exceeding an occupancy rate threshold, that the person is in violation of a mask wearing rule when the one or more detected facial features comprise the one or more particular facial features;
- and
- generate an alert in response to determining that the person is in violation of the mask wearing rule.
