COVID-19 Safe Distance Alert System for Blind People

Abstract

Real time object detection and distance measurement for blind people to maintain social distancing. Real time object detections and calculating distances is a challenging task for many computer vision applications such as video surveillance, robot navigation and vehicle navigation. Object detection involves detecting the object in sequence of videos using OpenCV under python. Every distance calculation mechanism requires object detection mechanism for each frame or when an object appears newly on the video sequence. Object distance is process of calculating distance of one object or multiple objects from the camera using single vision camera.
