• Abstract: In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) spread so quickly around the world that many countries had to set mandatory face mask rules in public areas to reduce the transmission of the virus. To monitor public adherence, researchers aimed to rapidly develop efficient systems that can detect faces with masks automatically. However, the lack of representative and novel datasets proved to be the biggest challenge. Early attempts to collect face mask datasets did not account for potential race, gender, and age biases. Therefore, the resulting models show inherent biases toward specific race groups, such as Asian or Caucasian. In this work, we present a novel face mask detection dataset that contains images posted on Twitter during the pandemic from around the world. Unlike previous datasets, the proposed Bias-Aware Face Mask Detection (BAFMD) dataset contains more images from underrepresented race and age groups to mitigate the problem for the face mask detection task. We perform experiments to investigate potential biases in widely used face mask detection datasets and illustrate that the BAFMD dataset yields models with better performance and generalization ability. The dataset is publicly available at https://github.com/Alpkant/BAFMD.

  Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to pose a great challenge to the world since its outbreak. To fight against the disease, a series of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are developed and applied to real-world scenarios. In this paper, we primarily focus on the AI techniques of masked facial detection and related datasets.

The ability to monitor the mask-wearing rate in the population would be useful for determining public health strategies against the virus. We present a two-step face mask detection approach consisting of two separate modules: 1) face detection and alignment and 2) face mask classification.

  COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed accepted norms globally. Official documents such as passports, driving license and national identity cards are enrolled with fully uncovered face images. In an airport or security checkpoint it is safer to match the unmasked image of the identifying document to the masked person rather than asking them to remove the mask. We propose a contrastive visual representation learning based pre-training workflow which is specialized to masked vs unmasked face matching.

We propose a novel approach to accurately gauge public sentiment towards face masks in the United States during COVID-19. We find two key policy-shift events contributed to statistically significant changes in sentiment for both Republicans and Democrats.
