  ABSTRACT: A face-mask object detection model incorporating hybrid dilation convolutional network termed ResNet Hybrid-dilation-convolution Face-mask-detector (RHF) is proposed in this paper. Furthermore, a lightweight face-mask dataset named Light Masked Face Dataset (LMFD) and a medium-sized face-mask dataset named Masked Face Dataset (MFD) with data augmentation methods applied is also constructed in this paper. The hybrid dilation convolutional network is able to expand the perception of the convolutional kernel without concern about the discontinuity of image information during the convolution process. For the given two datasets being constructed above, the trained models are significantly optimized in terms of detection performance, training time, and other related metrics. By using the MFD dataset of 55,905 images, the RHF model requires roughly 10 hours less training time compared to ResNet50 with better detection results with mAP of 93.45%.
