Social Distance Monitoring System - Vehant Technologies

 There are certain measures which have been proved helpful like wearing masks and maintaining social distance in order to slow down the spread and fight against Coronavirus. In order to control the outbreak, millions of people are made to stay at home. But many people in pharmaceutical and manufacturing industries still need to go to work daily to meet our basic needs.

 

In order to complement the efforts of our customers and to ensure following the protocol of social distancing at the workplace, Vehant Technologies has developed AI-powered social distance monitoring tools to detect people who are not following social distancing rules with real-time video streams.

 

For example, you can integrate the software with your CCTV system to keep track of the factory environment. The program can easily highlight those who are not keeping proper distance with others in red and create a line to focus on this. The system also alerts the people to maintain safe distance if they violate the protocol. By considering the ongoing effort to ensure safety, our social distance monitoring system works in these steps –

 

Calibration

 

Calibration is the process of measuring the transformation from a 1perspective view into top-down view. You need to choose the four points in your view and map the same to corners in the bird's eye view. It assumes everyone is on the same ground. The transformation can be applicable to the whole image. It is not easy to apply accurately. So, there is a light tool that anyone can calibrate in real time.

 

Detection

You need to apply a pedestrian detector to the views so the system can make a box around each person. Minimal post-processing is required to clean up the output boxes.

 

Measurement

 

The x, y location of the people is detected in the bird's eye view. It is the last and most important step. It includes calculating the distance between every pair of individuals and figuring out the distance by scaling from calibration. If distance is below the minimum distance which is allowed, those people will be highlighted in red and a line is drawn to focus on this.

 

Social distancing is considered to be the best way to slow down the spread of infection until a proper vaccine comes out. This tool is aimed to help encourage people to stay safe and keep others safe.
