Social-Distancing

Social-Distancing is an open-source project for automatically estimating interpersonal distance from uncalibrated RGB cameras. The software can be freely used for any non-commercial applications to assess compliance with safe distances. The code is open and can be improved with your support, please contact us at [email protected] if you would like to help us.

Installation steps

Code is developed in Python3 and tested on Ubuntu 18.04 with NVidia driver, Cuda 10.0 and Cudnn 7.6.5.

  • [x] Install the requirements
    To run this code, you need to install:

    • OpenPose:
      Please follow the instruction in the repository gitHub and install OpenPose in social-distancing/openpose/ folder.
      In case you prefer to use a different OpenPose installation folder, you can pass it using the --openpose_folder argument.

    • OpenCV:
      apt-get install python3-opencv
      pip3 install opencv-python
