Stream #2 originates at the daa3840daA3840-30mc camera module. Then, it is hardware-encoded and streamed by the Orca SBC #1. Finally, it is received by the Orca SBC #2, which hardware decodes and displays it.

A GUI application runs on the Orca SBC #2 as well. This application is engineered with [https://www.cranksoftware.com/storyboard Crank Storyboard 6] and shows some parameters of the Social Distancing algorithm while it operates. The GUI application remotely communicates with the SD Social Distancing application — which is written in Python — through [https://resources.cranksoftware.com/cranksoftware/v5.3.0/docs/webhelp/index.html#ww_sbio.html Storyboard IO API]. According to official documentation, ''the Storyboard IO API, formerly known as GREIO, provides a platform independent communication API that allows inter-task and inter-process queued message passing. This is primarily used to allow external communication with a Storyboard application''.

Functional tests were conducted in an environment that mimics a real-world scenario. The goal is to use the SD algorithm for people detection in a hazardous area where a cobot operates and thus where only authorized personnel are allowed to enter — the cobot shown below is part of the actual DAVE Embedded Systems manufacturing department's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_test_equipment ATE] test-benchesof DAVE Embedded Systems manufacturing department.

Orca SBC #1 is installed in the proximity of the cobot, while Orca SBC #2 is located in a different room where human operators can monitor the test bench remotely. Of course, advanced notification mechanisms could be also implemented in order to alarm operators if people are detected in the hazardous area.
