Artificially Intelligent (AI) Cameras Track Social Distancing - GreatLearning

#artificialintelligence

While each country is working its way around curbing the outbreak of the Coronavirus through quarantines, lock-downs, social distancing and more, technologies like Artificial Intelligence are becoming beyond useful to monitor and respond to the crisis. Artificial Intelligence has assisted in various ways to fight COVID-19, including diagnosis of the disease, accelerated research, development of drugs, and vaccinations out of the many. However, considering that social distancing has been recognised as a fundamental measure to slow down the spread of the pandemic, an Indian tech company has developed a thermal-vision AI-powered camera that not only measures forehead temperatures but also detects facemask and social distancing violations. Developed by Vehant Technologies -- a pioneer in AIML based physical security, surveillance and traffic monitoring solutions, FebriEye deals with a thermal screening system specifically created with analytics that monitor facemask and social distancing. This AI-powered camera will prove to be useful at entrances to public events, airports, metro stations, manufacturing plants, buildings, hotels, commercial complexes, shopping malls, as well as gated societies.
