Artificial intelligence has learned to control the distance between the people Source:

During the pandemic coronavirus social distancing has proven to be very effective measure for slowing the spread of the disease. But at that time, as millions stay home, to work together to defeat dangerous infection, many employees in the food, mining, pharmaceutical and other industries still have to go to work every day. Depends on them to you tomorrow the courier arrived with products, or nearest pharmacy was always open in case you suddenly feel a twinge. How to ensure security in these cases? In addition to wearing masks, there is another way, which will help to monitor compliance with the distance between people. Without artificial intelligence, there has not been.

To control the distance between people in the workplace, has developed a tool to monitor the location of people with support of artificial intelligence. It can determine whether people are at a safe distance from each other, analyzing the video streams from surveillance cameras in real time.

Tracking people on surveillance cameras

For Example, the factory that produces masks and other protective equipment, as required during a pandemic, it is possible to integrate this software in your system of surveillance cameras. As shown in the demonstration video below, the detector emit red people, the distance between which is less than the minimum distance, and draws a line between them to pay attention to it. The system will also allow the loudspeaker to make a warning and remind people that they stood at a safe distance.

The Software is installed on the computers that control the security system using video surveillance, and artificial intelligence integrates itself in the right elements. It's kind of a "mini big brother", who watches every movement of the employee. But not in order to control whether it works or not, and that workers are kept a safe distance between them. Remember seeing something similar in the TV series "Suspect" — there was a car with artificial intelligence that recognizes the movements of every person in the city. However, not in order to control the observance of distance between people.

After calibration the system is ready

And then I thought — and what hinders to further Refine the algorithm and using neural networks to monitor the movements of a person by city security cameras. The only thing that need — high-quality optics that will be able to correctly recognize a face and traits (gait, body type). And if the person commits an offence, and the camera will see, in the future, the neural network will follow him home, and there learns he went or not. Scary? Yes, but I think that in the future this system will be implemented.

According to the publication Input, Amazon have ALREADY implemented similar technology in their warehouses. For employees is also monitored during the shift and warned that violation of the rules of social distancing may lead to their dismissal. Apparently, not in vain , so they do not get sick with the virus.

the Quarantine for coronavirus

As noted by medical experts, as long as the vaccine for mers to become available, social distancing is our best tool to help reduce the spread of the pandemic. of course. The fact that the rate of spread of the novel coronavirus is quite high – in the case of complete inactivity, the number of infected will double every three days. The virus exists and its only goal is to reproduce as successfully as possible. Therefore, every time you leave the house you risk if you do not get sick themselves, infecting others.

It seems to Me, even after the pandemic such systems with AI are relevant. For example, at the same factories the user can obtain a report from the neural network, how much time the employee was at the workplace. Quarantine and pandemic will present us with many new technologies, as good or not — remains to be seen.
