Out-of-the-box code base for social distancing early forecasting. Given a video, this code will give out a warning if the system predicts that people will violate social distancing (getting closer with each other than 6 feet) in the next 5 seconds. This early warnings could help stop people before they are actually at risk of getting infected. See this blog.

Keep social distancing (about 6 feet) and save lives!

Below we show an example of the system output. If potential risks are detected, trajectory predictions are shown and warnings are printed near the person.

• Python 2/3; TensorFlow-GPU==1.15.2; cv2; tqdm; scipy; sklearn; matplotlib; ffmpeg

Assuming you run the code at the top level of this repository. Model size is about 468MB and the test video is about 7MB.

My limited tests show that on a RTX 2060 (6GB memory) the processing time is 2x real-time, which means a one-minute 1920x1080 video will take 2 minute to process. On a GTX 1080 TI it is about 1x real-time. Reducing input resolution will significantly decrease the processing time. The visualization is slow since it writes tons of images to the disk.

This project is based on CMU's Object Detection and Tracking and the following papers. If you find this code useful then please cite:
