Abstract

To create a secure environment that supports public safety, the proposed solution called I3S-Covid19 (Intelligence system for a safer society in covid-19) which consists of several parts: 1) extract foreground objects in videos received from surveillance camera. 2) Detect whether a person is wearing a mask or not through the use of data augmentation, transfer learning and new configuration of several models (such as MobileNet and YOLOV3). 3) Calculate the distance between people circulating in public or private places using MobileNet-SSD and YOLOV3 with the Euclidean distance measure. Finally, after evaluating the different solutions in different contexts and on different benchmark datasets, the results obtained represent an empirical validation of the benefit derived from the use of deep learning, the internet of things, and computer vision to minimize the spread of COVID-19.

1. Introduction And Problems

The Corona pandemic suddenly came to the world, while the world was not prepared for it, even with the slightest precautions, which led to many human losses. When we talk about the world, we highlight the Arab world, especially Algeria, where there is a serious lack of artificial intelligence technology and computer vision.

The goal Artificial Intelligence (AI) is to create systems that can function intelligently and independently in order to make the machine to mimic human consciousness. The ideal feature of AI is its ability to make a decision. The techniques from the field of AI, and more specifically Deep Learning (DL) methods, have been the core components of more recent developments in the field of computer vision, where it was exploited to solve the biological problems and diseases such as COVID-19.

Although there is a vaccine for the Coronavirus, it is still spreading, currencies, the impact of COVID-19 is widespread and has broad implications; it can be broken down different social domains such as economy, healthcare and social services.

We came up with the idea that the vaccine cannot eliminate the coronavirus unless it goes in parallel with taking precautions (codified by the World Health Organization (WHO)) for any future pandemics. The idea behind the project is to reduce coronavirus disease by tracking people using surveillance cameras, sensors, and drones to discover the wrongs committed in citizens such as not wearing a mask or not respecting social distancing.

1.1 Aims and Objectives

  • Develop a powerful system to stop the spread of covid - 19 especially and facilitates the process to eliminate any problem of this pandemic in the future.

  • The proposition of a new version of MobileNet model and YOLO to detect social distancing violation and mask detection.

  • Create an IOT environment to help police officers and controllers to track people in abnormal situations of covid-19 through their mobile and smartwatch which will connect with drones, surveillance cameras and sensors. This is why we have chosen mobilenet architecture.

  • Face mask detection and social distancing using new proposed models and configuration by changing the DarkNet of YOLO and MobileNet architectures.

  • Analyzing the impact of different techniques of data augmentation in the final results.

  • The use of transfer learning to accelerate training and achieving more accurate results with optimizing data and time.

2. Review Of Literature

This section provides an overview of CNN models that touches three aspects: classification, object detection and object tracking around two problems: mask detection and social distancing detection.
