## What it is
A face mask detection system built with OpenCV and TensorFlow/Keras that uses deep learning (SSD MobileNetV2) to detect whether people are wearing masks in static images and real-time video streams. It was created during the COVID-19 pandemic as a computer vision demonstration project.

## Use cases
- detect face masks in images
- real-time mask detection from webcam video stream
- train a mask detection model with TensorFlow and Keras
- build a COVID-19 safety screening system
- learn computer vision with OpenCV and deep learning
- detect faces and classify mask vs no-mask

## When to choose
- you need a ready-made face mask detection demo in Python
- you want a learning project combining OpenCV, Keras, and MobileNetV2
- you need real-time mask detection from a video stream

## When to avoid
- you need production-grade, actively maintained mask detection
- you need general face detection or recognition unrelated to masks
- you need a supported commercial screening solution

## Facets
- artifact type: application
