Abstract
One of the many collateral effects that the entire planet has suffered with the appearance of covid-19 and the declaration of this as a pandemic, has been evidenced in the treatment of facial recognition algorithms and the variety of applications, both commercial and for exclusive use in research for this same purpose. For the time being, there are already reports of effectiveness with respect to the analysis of these algorithms and that are paving the way to understand the degree of affectation that the use of face masks can have on facial recognition processes. In this context, it is important to determine how it is possible that throughout these almost two years of confinement and use of face shields and masks, the human being, regardless of his age, has been able to maintain its advantage over artificial intelligence systems when recognizing the face of a relative, friend or simply an acquaintance; that is why, the present study aims to evaluate some face recognition systems in order to determine the main problems faced by these algorithms when recognizing a face protected with a mask.
