The current COVID 19 halo infection has caused a severe catastrophe with its deadly spread. Despite the implementation of the vaccine, the severity of the infection has not diminished, and it has become stronger and more destructive. So, the only solution to protect ourselves from infection is social-distancing. Although social-distancing has been in practice for a long time, in most places it is not effectively followed, and it is very difficult to find out manually at all times whether people are following it or not. Therefore, we introduced a newly developed framework of deep-learning technique to automatically identify whether people maintain social-distancing or not using remote sensing top view images. Initially, we are detecting the context of image which includes information about the environment. Our detection model recognizes individuals using the boundary box. Then centroid is determined over every detected boundary box. By means of applying Euclidean distance, the pair range distances of the detected boundary box centroid are determined. To evaluate whether the distance measurement exceeds the minimum social distance limit, the violation threshold is established. We used Improved Single Shot Detector model for detecting a person over an image. Experiments are carried out on widely collected remote sensing images from various environments. Based on the object detection algorithm of deep learning, a variety of performance metrics are compared to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed model. Research outcome shows that, our proposed model outperforms well while recognize and detect a person in a well excellent way.
