METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR REDUCING A RISK OF SPREAD OF AN ILLNESS IN A BUILDING

Abstract:

Methods and systems for reducing a risk of spread of an illness in a building. In one example, a method for monitoring a risk of spread of an illness in a building may comprise capturing video of a surveilled area in the building, identifying individuals in the captured video and performing behavior analytics on the individuals identified in the captured video. The behavior analytics may include determining a risky behavior metric that identifies a measure of risky behavior of the individuals identified in the captured video that is based at least in part on a distance between two of the individuals identified in the captured video and a time that the distance between the two of the individuals is below a predetermined distance threshold. An alert may be issued when the risky behavior metric exceeds a risk threshold.
