THERMAL TEMPERATURE SCREENING

Explaining how the COVID-19 has put the world into a no-contact dilemma and what is the thermal temperature screening process all about

 Introduction:

With an approximate global lockdown of 2 months and an increasing patient count every hour, no doubt COVID-19 is the most lethal disease mankind has ever witnessed. While temperature detection has become an elemental criterion to enter any public/private place, the need for temperature detection techniques grew instantly.

Not just the latest government policies but private organizations too have added temperature screening and contactless measures as the initial qualifying step in their advisories and that is why contactless attendance and access control systems are in extensive demand. This article will educate you about the latest invention in the field of contactless attendance and access control which is; Thermal Temperature Screening feature.

Thermal Temperature Screening Process:

The thermal temperature screening or thermal screening is a process through which body’s temperature can be sensed with the help of thermal radiations emitted by it. The amount of infrared thermal radiations emitted by objects on to a detector converts the radiant power to electric signals. These can be displayed in units of temperature. Hence, displaying the actual temperature on the screen.

The sensor is capable enough to sense the complete body temperature from any point of the human face. The sensor’s accuracy can be estimated with the fact that it provides the temperature with the variation of only +/- 0.2 degree.
