Major travel hubs like airports, seaports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are one of the points on which the security measures of public authorities are aimed when infectious diseases such as Coronavirus (2019-nCoV), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) or Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coro-navirus (MERS-CoV) cause global problems. From there, diseases can be effectively prevented from spreading further. InfraTec infrared cameras can be used for a corresponding thermal fever screening for passengers. Our thermographic systems enable a non-contact and areal coverage of the body temperature, which preferably is detected at the inner angle of the eye. Slightest differences and thus abnormal body tempera- tures can be displayed and will result in alarms. Performing such health screenings, e.g. via implementing temperature checkpoints, enable the acquisition of important informa- tion as a basis for decision-making for subsequent medical examinations of the selected people and thus serve to secure public areas.
Advantages of using infrared cameras for thermal fever scanning of passengers
- Contactless and planar temperature measurement without external reference radiator
- Large field of view for rapid checking of large groups of people
- Resolution also of smaller areas of the skin (angle of the eye) from a safe distance
- Display and evaluation in real time
- Reliable temperature measurements based on low noise infrared detectors and precision calibration
- Alarming at surpassing temperature thresholds (fever)
- Easily installable all-in-one unit for continuous monitoring of persons and groups of people
