Face Detection by Measuring Thermal Value to Avoid Covid-19

Abstract

In this study, custom Single Shot Detection (SSD) was used to detect infected people faces because of Covid-19. It has been suggested to determine around the eyes area where the body temperature of the person most accurate by determining the facial landmarks with Ensemble of Regression Trees (ERT) model on these detected faces. Finally, the thermal value was measured from around the eyes area in a non-contact way using sensor fusion. As a result of the analyzes made, it was observed that the proposed system gave results close to the different measurement methods
