CoviD-19: Employee Fever detection with Thermal Camera integrated with attendance management system

Abstract

We all know that this is a tough time of COVID-19 with which the whole world is fighting. It is a virus that has taken many lives and affected the lack of people across the globe. It is a virus that is transmitted with close contact and droplet and is not airborne. The common symptoms include fever, cough, and fatigue. This paper focus on proposing a solution that can help detect the virus and keep people away from the infected person. The solution uses a Thermal Camera, which has a heat sensor and can detect any difference in temperature, and the camera can be integrated with access control systems in many places like Hospitals, Police stations, Factories, Universities, etc. which has staff walking in daily. The camera will not allow access to the person having high body temperature as fever is a symptom for COVID-19 and that person can be further examined for the virus. Many doctors are getting this infection while treating people, if we integrate such a solution then it can be easy to save the lives of many others up to an extent.
