Fever detection classroom temperature adjustment: Using infrared cameras

摘要

Classrooms or closed areas in general have a higher chance of transmitting viral and bacterial diseases such as flu or influenza. In this paper we are proposing a new system that will help to prevent the spread of a viral disease in classrooms at its early stage by keeping track of the students' body temperature. The system uses multiple infrared cameras that controls the room temperature and also detects students with a temperature higher than 37C. Once the camera detects a student with a temperature higher than 37C it sends a report to the school nurse to take immediate action. The system also adjusts the class room temperature according to the students' body temperature by averaging the students' body temperature.
