Face mask detector

This program was designed to detect whether someone is wearing a facemask through a live video stream. A custom lightweight CNN trained with TensorFlow on a public dataset provided by Kaggle is used to detect whether each face detected by the cv2 face detection dnn is wearing a mask

Running the program

Before running your program it is important to note that opencv indexes your camera id from 0 , and it may take a few attempts to find the right camera in a mutiple camera set up

Run the program:python3 main.py after running the program follow the prompts
