The Researchers of IIT Kharagpur have developed an Artificial Intelligence based cyber-physical system to monitor social distancing in public places.
Highlights
- The device developed by the researchers will play a proximity alert whenever there is a violation of social distancing norms.
- The device captures field view and computes distances according to the criteria set by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
- The researchers of the institute have designed the device using inexpensive and easily accessible hardware materials.
Social Distancing
- The social distancing is non-pharmaceutical prevention of an infection.
- This is done by decreasing contact between the persons that are infected by the disease-causing pathogen.
- According to WHO, when someone has COVID-19, the minimum physical distance to stay away from him is 1 metre.
- The same norms are followed in India as well.
- Some countries follow 2 metres of social distancing and some others follow 1.5 metres.
- UK follows 2 metre distancing and Australia follows 1.5 metres.
