Reaserch and implementation of social distancing monitoring technology based on SSD

Abstract

In the fight against the Covid-19, social distancing has proven to be a very effective measure to mitigate the spread of the disease. As resumption of work, production and classes accelerates, it is necessary to limit people’s social distance to reduce the rate of the virus spread. To solve this problem, a method for monitoring social distancing based on SSD object detection technology is proposed in this study. This method utilizes SSD300 model to detect people in a video or picture, and labels a Red Line as warning on the people whose distances are less than the default one, implementing real-time social distancing monitoring, and the mAP reaches 88.44%.
