Abstract

Objectives: The use of protective masks is an important measure to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and other diseases. The present work aims to carry out a comparative study between different deep learning models applied to the identification of face masks (person without mask, with mask or with incorrectly positioned mask). Methods: Convolutional Neural Network models MobileNetV3, Xception, VGG19 were implemented and evaluated. The transfer of learning technique was used in the implementation and adjustment of these models. Results: The evaluated models presented accuracies that varied between 42% and 86%, the latter obtained by the Xception model, surpassing the results reported in the related literature. Conclusion: The results point to the promising potential of the Xception model, which, by enabling automatic monitoring, allows people to be guided on the correct use of protective masks, thus helping to reduce the spread of diseases through the airways.
