• Abstract: In this work, we address the problem of estimating the so-called "Social Distancing" given a single uncalibrated image in unconstrained scenarios. Our approach proposes a semi-automatic solution to approximate the homography matrix between the scene ground and image plane. With the estimated homography, we then leverage an off-the-shelf pose detector to detect body poses on the image and to reason upon their inter-personal distances using the length of their body-parts. Inter-personal distances are further locally inspected to detect possible violations of the social distancing rules. We validate our proposed method quantitatively and qualitatively against baselines on public domain datasets for which we provided groundtruth on inter-personal distances. Besides, we demonstrate the application of our method deployed in a real testing scenario where statistics on the inter-personal distances are currently used to improve the safety in a critical environment.

  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.

  We propose a fully automated system that simultaneously estimates the camera intrinsics, the ground plane, and physical distances between people from a single RGB image or video.

We contribute to the publicly available MEVA dataset with additional distance annotations, resulting in MEVADA -- the first evaluation benchmark in the world for the pose-based auto-calibration and distance estimation problem.
