Edge-Oriented Social Distance Monitoring System Based on MTCNN
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Social distance monitoring (SDM) systems are vital in fighting the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). Existing SDM systems employ bounding box-method, which imposes inaccurate distance estimation due to the high variance in its output coordinates. To solve this problem, an SDM system based on multitask cascaded convolutional neural networks (MTCNN) is proposed. Instead of using bounding box coordinates, face detection and facial landmarks localization of MTCNN are used to provide fixed coordinates and increase the distance estimation accuracy of SDM. However, while the accuracy issue is solved by using MTCNN, the SDM system suffer from large computational requirements due to the cascaded networks added on top of the distance estimation process. To deal with this challenge, a constrained optimization technique is employed to each stage of MTCNN with the goal of reducing its hardware requirements while keeping the same reliability as the original implementation. Experimental results show that the SDM system based on the optimized MTCNN achieves higher accuracy performance with reduced computational requirements as compared with conventional SDM systems. This allows the proposed SDM system using optimized MTCNN to be deployed efficiently on edge devices.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
