ABSTRACT
COVID-19 is a contagious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease has spread worldwide, leading to an ongoing pandemic. The most common symptom of COVID-19 is fever which can be detected using various manual screening techniques that have the risk of exposing the personnel. Since the virus has globally spread, a reliable system to detect COVID-19-infected people, especially before entering any premises and buildings, is in high demand. The most common symptom that can be detected is fever, even though people with fever might not have COVID-19. Thus, a real-time analytic face thermal recognition system integrated with email notification that has the capability to scan the person's temperature and simultaneously analyze the measured temperature with the recorded/stored information/data is presented in this paper. The proposed system is also able to send an email notification to the relevant authorities during the real-time analytical process. Besides that, this information is also recorded in the system database for continuous monitoring of the respective person's health status. The development of the proposed system is integrated with a Thermal Module AMG8833, Pi camera, and Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless. The proposed system has been tested and the captured results successfully accomplished the development objectives.
