Face Mask Detection using Google Colab

In this new era where we experiencing a pandemic and people all around are advised to wear masks, some people are not used to it and are avoiding to wear masks. The motivation behind this projects is that if we can take help of AI to detect people wearing or not wearing masks in public places, it would be helpful to increase our safety. If deployed correctly, the mask detector could potentially be used to help ensure our safety. Also, it is very depressing to be alive in this period, to witness so much happening in this world, I decided why not do something out of it i.e convert a real world problem in which we humans have to wear masks to go out, into a Machine Learning problem. The task here is to predict people wearing masks or not wearing them, given an image or a video.
