1. A computer-implemented face mask detection method comprising the steps of:
obtaining at least one model image of a user comprising a first model image of the user wearing a face mask;
storing the at least one model image in a computer storage medium for benchmarking purposes;
obtaining an investigation image of the user at a given time during an investigation process;
processing, using a processor, the investigation image as a function of the at least one model image of the user for determining a protection status of the user at said given time; and
generating an output signal based on the determined protection status of the user at said given time,
wherein at least one of the steps are conducted using a mobile device associated to the user, wherein the steps comprise using the mobile device for setting at least two user profiles: a first user profile with a face mask comprising the first model image; and a second user profile without a face mask comprising a second model image, and sharing the at least one first and second user profile or model image with an administrator device for validation.
