Face Mask Detection with Temperature Sensor and Gate Control

📌 Overview

This project detects whether a person is wearing a mask using a deep learning model and a real-time camera feed.
It also integrates with a temperature sensor and gate control system for automated access management.

---

✨ Features

• Real-time face mask detection using a CNN model.
• Face detection via OpenCV's Deep Learning-based SSD.
• Temperature measurement via sensor integration.
• Automatic gate control based on mask status and temperature.
• High accuracy (99% on validation set).
• Easy to train and customize with your own dataset.
