SOCIAL DISTANCING DETECTION USING OPEN CV

Abstract: Recently, the outbreak of Corona virus Disease (COVID-19) has spread rapidly across the world and thus social distancing has become one of mandatory preventive measures to avoid physical contact. This survey paper emphasizes on a surveillance method which uses Open-CV, Computer vision and Deep learning to keep a track on the pedestrians and avoid overcrowding. The implementation can be done using closed circuit television (CCTV) and Drones where the camera will detect the crowd with the help of object detection and compute the distance between them. The Euclidean distance between two people will be calculated in pixels and is compared with given standard distance and if it is observed to be less than the standard distance the local authorities or local police authorities will be notified.
