Abstract summary: Social distancing has been proven as an effective measure against the spread of the infectious COronaVIrus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). An active surveillance system capable of detecting distances between individuals and warning them can slow down the spread of the deadly disease. Here we propose an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based real-time social distancing detection and warning system considering four important ethical factors.

Abstract: Social distancing has been proven as an effective measure against the spread of the infectious COronaVIrus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, individuals are not used to tracking the required 6-feet (2-meters) distance between themselves and their surroundings. An active surveillance system capable of detecting distances between individuals and warning them can slow down the spread of the deadly disease. Furthermore, measuring social density in a region of interest (ROI) and modulating inflow can decrease social distancing violation occurrence chance. On the other hand, recording data and labeling individuals who do not follow the measures will breach individuals' rights in free-societies. Here we propose an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based real-time social distancing detection and warning system considering four important ethical factors: (1) the system should never record/cache data, (2) the warnings should not target the individuals, (3) no human supervisor should be in the detection/warning loop, and (4) the code should be open-source and accessible to the public. Against this backdrop, we propose using a monocular camera and deep learning-based real-time object detectors to measure social distancing. If a violation is detected, a non-intrusive audio-visual warning signal is emitted without targeting the individual who breached the social distancing measure. Also, if the social density is over a critical value, the system sends a control signal to modulate inflow into the ROI. We tested the proposed method across real-world datasets to measure its generality and performance. The proposed method is ready for deployment, and our code is open-sourced.

TeD-SPAD: Temporal Distinctiveness for Self-supervised Privacy-preservation for video Anomaly Detection [59.04634695294402]
Video anomaly detection (VAD) without human monitoring is a complex computer vision task. Privacy leakage in VAD allows models to pick up and amplify unnecessary biases related to people's personal information. We propose TeD-SPAD, a privacy-aware video anomaly detection framework that destroys visual private information in a self-supervised manner.

Birds Eye View Social Distancing Analysis System [9.349085511919046]
Social distancing can reduce the infection rates in respiratory pandemics such as COVID-19. Traffic intersections are particularly suitable for monitoring and evaluation of social distancing behavior in metropolises. We propose and evaluate a privacy-preserving social distancing analysis system (B-SDA), which uses bird's-eye view video recordings of pedestrians who cross traffic intersections.

BEV-Net: Assessing Social Distancing Compliance by Joint People Localization and Geometric Reasoning [77.08836528980248]
Social distancing, an essential public health measure, has gained significant attention since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this work, the problem of visual social distancing compliance assessment in busy public areas with wide field-of-view cameras is considered. A dataset of crowd scenes with people annotations under a bird's eye view (BEV) and ground truth for metric distances is introduced. A multi-branch network, BEV-Net, is proposed to localize individuals in world coordinates and identify high-risk regions where social distancing is violated.

Social distancing is a recommended solution by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to minimise the spread of COVID-19 in public places. We develop a hybrid Computer Vision and YOLOv4-based Deep Neural Network model for automated people detection in the crowd using common CCTV cameras. The developed model is a generic and accurate people detection and tracking solution that can be applied in many other fields.
