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.
