For smart cities to succeed, substantial developments to take place in roads, city streets, public transportation, houses, businesses, and other aspects of city life must be drawn up. In today’s world, there is a crucial necessity for effective management of cities to reduce the effect of COVID19 disease with increasing population in cities. Multiple metrics had already been taken to lower the infection rate of COVID19, from the beginning of the outbreaks, such as maintaining distance from another person and wearing face masks. Ensuring security in public places of smart cities needs state-of-the-art technology, including computer vision, deep learning and deep transfer learning for automated detection of face masks and monitoring of whether people wear masks accurately. The achievement of machine learning (ML and) artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in face recognition and object detection makes it fit for the development of FMD methods. The fundamental concept behind the generalized intuitionistic fuzzy soft set is highly productive in making decisions because it considers ways to manipulate an additional intuitionistic fuzzy input from the director to balance any disturbance in the data delivered by the assessment analyst. This manuscript offers the design of Weighted Soft Discernibility Matrix with Deep Learning Assisted Face Mask Detection (WSDMDL-FMD) technique for Smart City Environment. The WSDMDL-FMD technique proficiently discriminates the facial images with the presence or absence of masks. The WSDMDL-FMD technique comprises two stages: Mask RCNN-based face detection and WSDM-based face mask classification. Primarily, the WSDMDL-FMD technique uses Mask RCNN-based face detection. Next, the convolutional neural network (CNN) model derives features from the detected faces and its hyperparameters can be chosen by cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA). For face mask classification, the WSDMDL-FMD technique applies WSDM model. To evaluate the results of the WSDMDL-FMD technique, a series of experiments were involved. The obtained outcomes stated that the WSDMDL-FMD method reaches superior performance than other models. © 2025, American Scientific Publishing Group (ASPG). All rights reserved. |
