Glove Detection System: An Ultimate AI-powered Safety Partner for Your Hands
Overview
We created an AI-powered Glove detection system. A safety and prevention system that is designed to work for any industry, pandemic situation or business.
Wearing gloves is a key safety measure for so many reasons and in so many use cases especially high risk scenarios like hospitals, food or even construction.
We designed a system that would for any industry by tracking people with an assigned id, check if they are wearing gloves and generate
alerts against a person’s id if they are not wearing gloves.
Problems
Creating this system came with planned milestones, back to back discussions and countless coffee refills. We tackled the problem in these steps:
How does it work?
- The glove detection software runs on a computer with a
connected camera system. - Our algorithms process video streams from all cameras
- Tracks people and assigns each person a unique id.
- It draws rectangles on people’s hands along with their id.
- Red rectangle means they are not wearing gloves while a green rectangle for people wearing gloves.
- The system generates alerts against ids of people not wearing gloves.
Solution
The final solution was a super smooth and scalable glove detector, working with multiple camera streams.
Challenges
We hit a few bumps along the road like:
- No good hand and glove dataset available for prediction in the wild
- Running our system in real time on 4k Videos
- Deployment as a C++ Application and Library to be deployed on any system
- Small hand detection in CCTV footage
