Establishing Mask Detection AI
Mask detection can assist in combating viral outbreaks, such as COVID-19. When an individual is detected, an event is generated and stored on the recorder that classifies the individual as a "Masked Person" or an "Unmasked Person".
Configuring Mask Detection
To configure and enable Mask Detection
- Select the settings button in a pane.
- Select Analytics.
- Select Mask Detection from the Algorithm dropdown menu
- Enable Visualize to show a frame around detected faces, which are labeled mask or no mask with an indicator of the confidence level of detection.
- Enable Show Snapshot to display a screen shot of the last detection of the individual's face on the right side of the pane.
- Slide the Mask Threshold slider to the desired point. The threshold determines how strict masks are enforced. A higher value assures that only certain mask detections are registered.
Mask Detection notifications display on the Timeline as detection events. Hover your mouse over the red bar to see more details.
