COVID-19 may not be impacting our lives the same way it had, but it made a significant impact on society and many companies developed products to help with the containment of the virus.
While it may no longer be a requirement to wear things like face masks out in public, many people and different cultures have adopted facemasks as the norm. It is unfortunately also quite likely another event will lead to the mass public having to use them again at some point in the future.
During COVID, HIKVISION launched a new solution designed to identify individuals who are not wearing masks or are wearing them improperly.
HIKVISION’s Solution for Face Mask Detection
HIKVISION’s system can detect such individuals even in crowded places where traditional methods fail. This can be highly effective in mass transit areas or large gathering spaces, where monitoring mask usage is difficult.
How it Works
HIKVISION utilises AI algorithms and face shape detection to detect whether a face mask is being worn. If a violation is identified, an alarm can be triggered. This technology stands out from similar solutions offered by other companies, as it’s designed to be more cheat-resistant.
