• Authors: Javier A. Gonz\'alez-Trejo, Diego A. Mercado-Ravell
• Abstract summary: We propose a new framework for monitoring the social-distance using end-to-end Deep Learning. Our framework consists in the creation of a new ground truth based on the ground truth density maps. We show that our framework performs well at providing the zones where people are not following the social-distance even when heavily occluded or far away from one camera.

• Abstract: With the relaxation of the containment measurements around the globe, monitoring the social distancing in crowded public places is of grate importance to prevent a new massive wave of COVID-19 infections. Recent works in that matter have limited themselves by detecting social distancing in corridors up to small crowds by detecting each person individually considering the full body in the image. In this work, we propose a new framework for monitoring the social-distance using end-to-end Deep Learning, to detect crowds violating the social-distance in wide areas where important occlusions may be present. Our framework consists in the creation of a new ground truth based on the ground truth density maps and the proposal of two different solutions, a density-map-based and a segmentation-based, to detect the crowds violating the social-distance constrain. We assess the results of both approaches by using the generated ground truth from the PET2009 and CityStreet datasets. We show that our framework performs well at providing the zones where people are not following the social-distance even when heavily occluded or far away from one camera.

  Overhead images can help fill in the gaps where community information is sparse. Recent advancements in machine learning and computer vision have made it possible to quickly extract features from and detect patterns in image data. In this work, we explore how well two approaches, a supervised convolutional neural network and semi-supervised clustering can estimate population density, median household income, and educational attainment.

  Social distancing in public spaces has become an essential aspect in helping to reduce the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. There has been no study of social distance measurement on public transport. We benchmark several state-of-the-art object detection algorithms using real-world footage taken from the London Underground and bus network.

  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.

  The rapid development in visual crowd analysis shows a trend to count people by positioning or even detecting, rather than simply summing a density map. Some recent work on crowd localization and detection has two limitations: 1) The typical detection methods can not handle the dense crowds and a large variation in scale; 2) The density map methods suffer from performance deficiency in position and box prediction, especially in high density or large-size crowds.

  We propose a novel one-stage HOI detection approach based on a new concept called interaction region for the HOI problem. Unlike previous methods, our approach concentrates on the densely sampled interaction regions across different scales for each human-object pair. In order to compensate for the detection flaws of a single interaction region, we introduce a novel voting strategy.
