ABSTRACT
Closed-circuit television camera (CCTV) and thermal imaging devices are used to detect febrile individuals entering establishments for Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) containment. Real-time tracking in post-COVID is manually checked by security personnel, which has risks of less efficiency due to human errors, as advance thermal cameras are unaffordable for some business owners. The main goal is converting an installed CCTV interfaced with infrared sensor to develop an economical thermal screening system with acoustic alarm. In this project, the colored and heatmap images transmitted from the thermal camera were processed through OpenCV. A calibration method was also performed to validate the temperature reading from the thermal camera. The project comes with graphical user interface (GUI) connected into a database, which visually tracks individuals exhibits elevated body temperature. The performance of the system shows above 95% accuracy upon conducting an inexpensive calibration check. The significance of this project is highlighting the effective mitigation of virus spread which offers safe and contactless analysis of potential individuals showing early symptoms of COVID-19. Additional features can be added for future work such as facemask detector, multiple thermal camera setup, and Login Options making the device and application exclusively for business owners. © 2022 IEEE.
