Contamination risk estimation model for respiratory diseases in monitored environments using YOLOv6
Abstract
Monitoring solutions for environments, from camera images, have grown mainly with the integration with machine learning models. With the COVID-19 pandemic, several measures to prevent and combat the coronavirus have been adopted, with social distancing and the use of masking being major factors in controlling the spread of the disease. This paper presents a new approach based on convolutional neural networks focused on airborne diseases, which assesses the infection rate of the monitored space, in real time. For this, through the video monitored environment, are (i) identified people with masks used correctly or incorrectly; (ii) identified people without masks; (iii) measured the distances between people. From this information, it is possible to infer (iv) an index to measure the chances of infection in a monitored space over time, using YOLOv5 in this development environment.
