SOP EYE

Abstract

The pandemic of 2019, the infamous COVID-19, hit the world and caused a global crisis. It affected everyone single person, directly and indirectly. People lost their jobs, their houses and most importantly lost two years of their life. From offices to educational institutes to out-door activities everything had been halted. The economic as well as the social damages caused by the pandemic have still not been recovered. Nearly 3.3 billion workers and employees were affected and productivity around the world had been heavily compromised. A year later, in order to regain and recover from the losses, companies started bringing back their employees with strict adherence of SOPs advised by the World Health Organization (WHO). In order to properly implement these SOPs a monitoring agent was of dire need. With advancements in technology and artificial intelligence, the problem of a monitoring agent could be solved. Hence, SOP EYE, a tool to monitor and detect SOP violations using cutting edge software technology came into existence. SOP EYE detects COVID-19 SOPs through live camera feed and alerts the administrators of the violations. With this tool there will not be any need of a physical agent since the monitoring part will be automated. SOP EYE will be a helpful tool in detecting three types of SOP violations, face-mask, six-foot distance and physical touch detection. The agent has been trained on custom objects using appropriate pre-trained models. It detects violations in near real-time using only a camera feed as the input. On detecting violations more than a set threshold, the product sounds an alarm alerting the allocated people to reduce the violations and follow the SOPs. SOP EYE can be re-trained according to many other SOPs other than those mentioned. SOP EYE was initially planned to help in monitoring COVID-19 SOPs but it is not static and can be modified if, God-forbid, any other pandemic occurs.
