Ways to Wear a Mask or a Respirator (WWMR-DB)

Mask detection is a task in where it is wanted to detect whether a person is wearing a mask or not. It seems like a simple problem, but some facets, such as the fact that people wear such masks and respirators in a multitude of ways, are often ignored and trivialized to the worn/not worn case. The Ways To Wear a Mask or a Respirator Database (WWMR-DB) is a test database that can be used to compare the behavior of current mask detection systems with images that most closely resemble the real case. It consists of 1225 images divided into 8 classes, depicting the most common ways in which masks or respirators are worn: - No Mask Or Respirator - Mask Or Respirator Worn Correctly - Mask Or Respirator Under The Nose - Mask Or Respirator Under The Chin - Mask Or Respirator Hanging From One Ear - Mask Or Respirator On The Tip Of The Nose - Mask Or Respirator On The Forehead - Mask Folded Above The Chin Each image has two label files: one in PascalVOC format and one in YOLO format. These files contain the bounding boxes of the face of the person, the mask or the respirator, and both.
