The 8 Most Remarkable Application Areas of Human Detection with Artificial Intelligence

Human detection is an emerging and rapidly evolving research field that combines computer vision and artificial intelligence technologies. Human detection technologies are used to detect, locate, track, and even identify people in an image or video. The roots of this technology lie in the fundamental concepts of computer vision and are enhanced by artificial intelligence algorithms.

Computer vision is a branch of science that enables machines to understand visual data. Artificial intelligence algorithms, used alongside image processing techniques, allow visual data to be analyzed and interpreted. Thanks to advancements in artificial intelligence, especially in deep learning and machine learning, the performance and accuracy of human detection technologies have significantly improved.

The combination of artificial intelligence and computer vision technologies has led to significant advancements in human detection and expanded the application areas of this technology. These innovations provide substantial benefits in both our daily lives and various industries. For example, suspicious behaviors can be detected by monitoring a crowded area through security cameras, or it can be used to ensure the safety of workers in factories. Nowadays, human detection technologies are widely used in various fields, from occupational safety to marketing, healthcare to public security.

Occupational safety is one of the most critical application areas of human detection technologies. Especially in hazardous industrial and production environments, this technology has life-saving functions. Human detection systems are integrated in various ways to enhance safety in work environments. 

Control of Personal Protective Equipment: 
Human detection systems automatically detect whether employees are wearing their personal protective equipment (e.g., helmets, safety glasses, gloves) correctly. By ensuring that employees use their equipment according to safety standards, these systems help prevent occupational safety violations and accidents.

Handling Heavy Loads:
During the handling of heavy loads, it is crucial for occupational safety to detect whether a person is under the load. Human detection systems automatically alert or stop the operation when a person is detected under the load, preventing potential accidents.

Press Lines:
Human detection technologies are used to ensure the safety of workers on press lines. If a person is detected in the press while the machine is operating, the system automatically stops the press to prevent serious injuries.

Cutting and Drilling Operations:
In environments where cutting and drilling operations are performed, human detection systems monitor whether employees' hands or bodies enter dangerous areas. For example, if a hand enters the view while a saw or drill machine is operating, the machine automatically stops, preventing serious accidents.

Unauthorized Area Entry:
Human detection technologies monitor the entry of employees or unauthorized persons into specific areas. By detecting people in areas where they should not be, these systems prevent unauthorized entries and potential security violations. These systems enhance security and maintain the order of work areas.

Human detection technologies make work environments safer with the solutions they provide in the field of occupational safety. They have a wide range of applications, from controlling personal protective equipment to handling heavy loads and working in environments with cutting tools. Our company continuously develops innovative solutions using these technologies to increase occupational safety and protect the health of our employees. By maintaining the highest level of safety in our work environments, we aim to provide an efficient and healthy working environment.

2- Disaster and Emergency Management

In natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, as well as emergency situations like pandemics, quickly and accurately determining the number and locations of people at the scene is of vital importance. Human detection technologies enable more effective and efficient intervention in such situations. For example, by determining where search and rescue teams should focus, the effectiveness of life-saving operations is increased.

3- Energy Savings

In workplaces and smart homes, human detection systems are used to optimize heating, cooling, and lighting systems. This technology detects a person's entry or exit from a room, automatically adjusting lighting and temperature settings. Thus, significant energy savings are achieved, especially in large and multi-story buildings. This simple yet effective solution reduces energy costs and contributes to environmental sustainability.

4- Site Security

In personal and site security, human detection systems are used to enhance the security level. This system sends instant alerts in case of unexpected hours or unidentified faces. For example, if unauthorized entry is detected late at night, the system automatically notifies security personnel or the homeowner. This enables quick intervention, preventing potential security violations.

AI-powered human detection systems provide a safer living environment with 24/7 active monitoring, while reducing the workload of security personnel. This increases efficiency and meets the security needs of both individuals and communities.

5- Transportation and Traffic Management

Human detection technologies offer significant advantages in transportation and traffic management. They are used to monitor and manage passenger density in public transportation vehicles and stations. These systems optimize the capacity of public transportation systems by performing real-time passenger counting, increasing passenger safety and comfort. For example, additional trips can be arranged or larger capacity vehicles can be deployed during peak hours.

Additionally, pedestrian detection at crosswalks and traffic lights optimizes traffic flow and prevents accidents. Adjusting traffic lights according to pedestrian density enhances the safety of both drivers and pedestrians.

6- Entertainment and Event Management

In large events such as concerts, festivals, sports events, and rallies, determining the number of participants is critical for the success and safety of the organization. Human detection technologies help organizers make better plans by determining the number of participants and density areas in the event area. This increases security measures, uses resources more efficiently, and ensures participant satisfaction.

7- Marketing and Retail

Human detection technologies are used in stores and shopping malls to analyze customer behaviors and optimize marketing strategies. These systems enhance the efficiency and profitability of businesses by increasing customer satisfaction and optimizing sales. For example, by monitoring the number of customers entering and exiting the store, peak hours can be determined, and personnel planning can be optimized. This provides better service to customers and increases labor efficiency.

Additionally, new regulations have imposed limits on the number of people inside stores. Human detection technologies help control the maximum number of people allowed in a given area. These technologies aid in managing store density, enforcing social distancing rules, and improving customer experience. Especially during the pandemic, such technologies played a critical role in enhancing the safety of both customers and employees.

8- Healthcare Services

Human detection technologies are used in hospitals and elderly care centers to monitor and ensure the safety of patients and the elderly. These systems provide critical functions such as fall detection and rapid intervention in emergencies, thereby improving the quality of healthcare services and ensuring patient safety.
