Abstract

Abstract: In these times of COVID-19, it is essential to go through thermal screening for checking one’s body temperature before entering any premises. However, it is a tiring process as it involves measuring body temperature of all people, one at atime. At the same time, those who carry out thermal screening are required to stand for more than 8 hours a day and check each and every person. This takes a lot of time and effort. So to come up with a solution that can do this job effortlessly, we have built a Facial Recognition Thermal Screening System. The device works by recognizing the face of each person and doing thermal screening to detect the body temperature. If a person is found to havea very high temperature, then the systemwill not allow entry and instead will automatically notify that person to take a COVID-19 test. If the body temperature falls between the required normal temperature range and is found to be okay, then entry is allowed after proper sanitizationKeywords: Face Recognition, Covid-19, Thermal Scanning, Raspberry-pi, Thermal Sensor.
