Facial recognition using camera – Application for medical robot

Abstract

In the complicated situation of covid-19 around the world, a group of students from Indonesia created a medical robot with many functions to help doctors in hospitals. Our team contributed to the development of facial recognition and mask detection software in an Indonesian student project. In this project, we propose the SVM (support vector machine) algorithm for analyzing image data and then train the robot to accurately recognize the test patterns contained in the image data. In addition, this project also uses python software to run codes for mask analysis as well as identification and detection. Thereby, we have obtained positive results such as identifying people through their images and detecting whether masks are being worn or not.
