Abstract

The emergence of COVID-19 necessitated effective screening and physical safeguard detection systems. This chapter presents a comprehensive overview of COVID screening methodologies based on deep learning, with a specific focus on biomedical image processing and the detection of face masks. Furthermore, it delves into initial endeavors concerning COVID image analysis and the creation of a mobile face mask detection system designed to operate on edge devices with resource constraints.
