Kolkata: A group of researchers at IIT-Kharagpur has developed a cyber-physical system based on artificial intelligence for monitoring social distancing in public places, an official was quoted as saying by PTI on Saturday. The low-cost device can detect the gap between individuals.
The team is led by Professor Debashish Chakravarty and professor Aditya Bandopadhyay.
“The device will play a proximity alert sound through audio output, whenever any violation of the social distancing norms occurs. It captures images of the field view and computes the distance as per criteria set by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare,” a member of the research group said was quoted as saying by PTI.
The researchers had focused on the ease of deployment of such a device in remote places and curtailing the cost by using inexpensive and easily accessible hardware materials, he said.
