Abstract
Covid-19 is a novel virus that has never been seen in humans before. This disease was first detected in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has been spreading since worldwide. The virus can easily pass from person to person through breathing & making physical contact, which is why it is spreading rapidly. To stop the transmission of Covid-19, wearing face mask and maintaining social distance are crucial disciplines to follow. But these disciplines are not being followed properly because of the lack of monitoring system that could enforce such disciplines among people especially in places of social gathering. As a result, lockdowns are being enforced & many work places, industries, garments, educational institutions are being shut down in order to stop the spread. Which is damaging our economy & productivity to a great extent. In order to prevent further damage & to recover the losses due to pandemic, we have come up with a project plan that deals with ensuring a system which is capable of detecting faces with & without masks and also capable of measuring distance between person to person & displaying the information in details on big screen for monitoring. The project is AI and deep learning-based. Various types of electronic devices & components are required to make this system. The system we are developing is productive, feasible & can be easily implemented. And for being cost efficient, it can be mass produced as well. By implementing such system in places of social gathering can prevent the transmission of the virus. As the system enforces people to wear masks & maintain certain distance from each other at gathering places, it significantly reduces the possibility of transmission. And because of the implementation of the system, lockdowns will no longer be necessary & people can continue working in their respective work places. Productivity & progress will continue, even during the pandemic. This project can bring forth significant changes in economic progress & development of the country and can assist in recovering the productive losses due to the pandemic.
