Thermal Scanning and Mask Detection Entrance

Abstract

Abstract: “Covid-19”, a virus has changed the world with a huge impact in the regular lives of people. People are mostly scared to go outside because of this deadly virus. But there are ways to fight and avoid this virus from affecting us, which is regular sanitization of hands and proper wearing of mask. But these days, people are avoiding these basic safety aids. Because of this virus, many public places have forcibly put to shut as people might get affected. Covid-19 can be fought only if people start to keep safe distance and wear proper mask covering their faces. Covid-19 has several symptoms like high body temperature. So, keeping these factors in mind the prototype has been developed as a system that can detect the body temperature of a person as well as it can check if the person is wearing a mask or not. This work has thermal imaging technique that can detect body temperature without any physical contact and uses image processing to check for mask wearablity. If the person fails to wear a mask or his/her body temperature is above normal, then an alarm is generated, and the photo of the person is sent to the control room with an alert message. The data of both people entering as well as people that are not allowed, are stored in the database with the current date and time.
