Physical distance monitoring system for COVID-19 using raspberry Pi and a monocular camera: poster abstract

During the global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it is crucial to minimize the spread of the infection until effective drugs and vaccines are developed. Therefore, close contact must be reduced to prevent human-to-human transmission. We propose a simplified inexpensive system using a monocular camera combined with Raspberry Pi, a small single-board computer, to measure physical distancing and warn people of their proximity with others.
