Contactless Temperature Screening: Roleof AI & Thermal Imaging!
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, contactless temperature screening has become an important measure to help prevent the spread of the virus.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, contactless temperature screening has become an important measure to help prevent the spread of the virus. By using AI-enabled temperature screening devices, businesses and organizations can quickly and efficiently screen large numbers of people for elevated body temperatures.

While traditional thermal cameras can be expensive and require trained operators, AI-enabled temperature screening devices are much more affordable and can be operated by untrained staff. Additionally, AI-enabled temperature screening devices can provide real-time alerts to staff if someone has an elevated body temperature, allowing for quick follow-up and potential isolation of that individual.

Overall, AI-enabled temperature screening provides a quick, efficient, and affordable way to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. As the world continues to grapple with the pandemic, we expect that contactless temperature screening will play an increasingly important role in helping to keep people safe.

Challenges Faced in Traditional Temperature Screenings?

Many challenges come with traditional temperature screenings, such as long lines, staff members having to monitor the screenings constantly, and a lack of accuracy. These challenges can lead to frustration for both employees and customers. Additionally, traditional temperature screenings are often ineffective in detecting elevated temperatures, leading to people with fevers going undetected.

Contactless temperature screening using AI can help to address these challenges. AI-powered temperature screenings can be more accurate than traditional methods and can also be done without the need for staff members to be present. This can help to reduce wait times and increase efficiency.

AI & Thermal Imaging Technology for Screening Temperatures?

AI and thermal imaging technology work together in a contactless temperature screening system to provide accurate and reliable results. The system uses an infrared camera to measure the temperature of a person’s skin, which is then compared to a reference temperature. If the person’s skin temperature is higher than the reference temperature, an alarm is sounded, and the person is directed to a separate area for further screening.

Combined with AI technology, thermal cameras can identify individuals and automatically alert the monitoring team during scanning when an elevated temperature is recognized, providing real-time analysis. Thermal cameras can be implemented at multiple entry points and high-traffic routes, capturing data on a 24/7 basis so that any anomalies are immediately identified and investigated. Optional facial recognition captures valuable data such as people counting, demographics, and the number of at-risk alerts throughout the day/week/month or year. All data metrics are carried over the IoT cloud for seamless data visualization.
