About

The deadly COVID-19 is spreading exponentially and is causing havoc in our lives. Social distancing and wearing face masks are the only effective strategy against it. You as data scientists have a chance to play a key role in this battle. Computer Vision applications to detect whether a person is wearing a mask are of utmost importance.

The Challenge

You are required to build an AI model that detects people in an image and/or live video and classify whether they are wearing a face mask or not.

The task is to devise a face mask classifier, divided into two parts:

Face detection
Masked Classification

Dataset

The dataset consists of 5800+ RGB images, with two classes namely “face” and “face_mask”. The classification works on the faces present in an image. Training and Validation XML files provide annotations for the images giving details about location of faces and their classification based on presence of masks.

The directory structure of files is as follows:

.

└── COVID19-Classification

├── Training

│ ├── images

│ │ ├── img1.jpg

│ │ ├── img2.jpg

│ │ └── ...

│ └── annotations

│ └── training-images.xml

├── Validation

│ ├── images

│ │ ├── img1.jpg

│ │ ├── img2.jpg

│ │ └── ...

│ └── annotations

│ └── validation-images.xml

├── README.txt

└── Example

├── sample-image.jpg

└── sample-result.xml

│ └── ...

Submission

The output of the model should be box annotations for face co-ordinates in an image and their associated class. “Example” directory provides sample results to study.

Details regarding the submission are provided in README.txt

The final submission should include:

Model Files (in formats supported by the above frameworks)
requirements.txt (providing details of modules required to run your submission)
Code Execution file (including training and testing ) (.py, .ipynb, ...,etc.)

Other files may be included for purposes of code modularity.

NOTE:

Currently only Python-framework based models are accepted:

Tensorflow
Pytorch
Keras

The Judgement

The results will be declared by 5th of June 2020.

The criteria of judgement will be:

Accuracy of detection algorithm
Accuracy of classification algorithm
Speed - Accuracy trade off

Rules

Submission must not include copyrighted code. If violation is found, submission will be rejected.
The submission should be in a proper format as described by README.txt (included in the dataset).
Late submission will not be accepted beyond provided deadline (Indian Standard Time).
