Abstract: ABSTRACT METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MEASURING SOCIAL AWARENESS OF CROWD BASED ON IGNORANCE INDEX This disclosure relates generally to a method and system for measuring social awareness of crowd based on ignorance index. Conventional methods for measuring social awareness through social experimentation are conducted by collecting data manually. This manual approach takes more time and incurs more money. The disclosed method counts the number of people using object detection techniques whenever preferred action towards sustainability is performed by people. The disclosure uses camera-based computer vision techniques to identify the objects in the scene and detect sustainable activity. Further the number of subjects is counted who care about sustainability and who do not perform sustainable actions. Then an ignorance index is calculated from the number of subjects who gazed at the device but have not performed any sustainable action. The disclosed method is used for social awareness measuring through social experimentation to understand the human behavior in the social gathering. [
