With most comprehensive testing and tracing regimes early and strategy for taking early steps to contain the virus, including rigorous testing and contact tracing of cases, has been praised internationally.
We can feel the recovery & progress due to the unexpected health pandemic of COVID-19, a virus that has made its impact on how we operate and carry out our business activities. Not just business, education institutes are the worst hit by this pandemic situation, due to the limitations to carrying out physical classes for students of all ages.
No classes are happening for students due to the fear of infection from COVID-19. But it is not a permanent solution to keep schools closed for a long time. Authorities are framing Safe & Secure procedures to reopen the schools. Many institutions have started to use thermal monitoring systems such as thermal cameras in order to monitor and control the Elevated Body Temperature (EBT) of students inside the school campus.
Technology to the Rescue:
Thermal scanning is already an existing technology that is used in medicine for a lot of patient monitoring purposes. Also, airports have them find the objects that passengers are carrying as they board the airplane. Considering the importance of this thermal imaging device, it is important to consider certain technical stuff related to selecting a thermal imaging device.
- High Thermal Resolution – Thermal resolution is the most important which can accurately measure the skin temperature
- Image Recognition – It is often the case that you do not see the difference in your thermal images, so it will be very helpful if we can differentiate between images
- Usage of Different Lenses – Often times it may be required to image from a safe distance from the subject, or if you have greater thermal pixel resolution, it can be handy to measure large
- Key Areas Assessment – The higher the thermal resolution is can be easier to access key areas such as the forehead, skin, and corner of the eye
- High Accuracy Measurement – These thermal imaging devices should have greater accuracy with an error not greater than ±0.5degree C
- Extra Features – This includes requirements such as mask detection, demographic information
Infrared Screening Method:
After installing a high-accuracy thermal imaging system, it can be possible to take the screening solution to an increased scale.
Normally, it takes about 3-5 seconds to completely screen a person remotely using a thermal camera, and take a picture of the subject while storing it at the same time.
No specific training is required to operate these instruments as they are run using a browser-based software, that any facility staff can use with just a web browser. Also, no need for them to sit during screening for a long time as it can be viewed remotely by just accessing the system which is connected to the thermal camera.
All these devices are transferring data to on-premises storage solutions and not to the cloud, which needs local monitoring and timely backup of screened data on a regular basis. This means it adds up to your local IT administration cost to keep up the thermal systems working flawlessly.
