Abstract:

Virtual receptionists have long been a desire for many circumstances in general. The specific circumstances associated with COVID-19 offer additional motivations for virtual receptionists, in particular associated with visitor and employee safety. In this poster, we present our prototype of a virtual receptionist that employs computer vision and meta-learning techniques to identify and interact with a visitor in a manner similar to that of a human receptionist. Specifically we employ a meta-learning-based classifier to learn the users' faces from the minimal data collected during a first visit, such that the receptionist can recognize the same user during follow-up visits. The system also makes use of deep neural network-based computer vision techniques to recognize whether the visitor is wearing a face mask or not.
