Summary
Visualization of congestion
using 3D Camera & AI
Social distance (staying away from each other and avoiding close range) is important as a preventative measure for COVID-19. To practice social distancing, we have developed a system using 3D cameras and AI for instant, automatic estimation of the identification (counting) of people and the distance between them. This system helps to visualize congestion through flow of crowds for the use in the following scenarios.
Hot springs and inns
supermarkets
Tourist spots
In addition, it is possible to display the no. of people, skeleton image, and characters without displaying a face image for privacy concerns. This system is capable to meet with various needs in different spots.
