Medical application of UAV in times of Covid19

Abstract

The covid19 pandemic a ected the world worst that one could imagine. With unexpected growth in the cases around and changing government policies, it has involved every human activity seg- ment. India is a country where more than 21% of the people are below the poverty line; it becomes di cult for the government to plan their policies and get enough time to prepare ac- cordingly because of unexpectedly increasing cases. As social distancing practices will stay with us for a while, there's a need for surveillance system to ensure the same. In support of this notion, we've built a fully autonomous aerial system capable of tracking social distancing norms i.e distance estimation and mask surveillance in public spaces, i.e., Parks, institutes/universities, gatherings, markets, and more. This system will help the concerned authorities manage the area and reduce the possibility of any transmission of infection and its smooth functioning.
