Thermal imaging cameras.

by Antonio Torregrosa

Faced with the challenge posed to us by the well-known COVID-19, the industry has not been slow to adapt existing solutions to detect suspicious cases in high-traffic spaces. These are thermographic cameras to measure body temperature. These cameras are capable of analyzing, with great precision, people's body temperature, thus being able to detect cases of fever instantly. They are being installed en masse in crowded places (supermarkets, hotels, transportation), as a measure to contain COVID-19.

They have a very advanced and powerful algorithm in terms of high precision temperature measurement. In addition, it incorporates artificial intelligence based on facial detection. This helps filter out any type of false alarm generated by other heat emitters (cigarettes, coffee, light bulbs, etc.).

Types of solutions with thermal imaging cameras for temperature measurement
In most cases, the temperature detection of thermal imaging cameras can be affected by the exposure area we have to carry out said measurement. To this end, three solutions are offered adapted for different measurement environments.

Infrared Thermometers

This system is ideal for use in a complementary way to systems based on thermographic cameras for measuring body temperature, in order to be able to carry out a second check in case there has been a positive overtemperature in the first measurement.

Infrared thermometers allow you to quickly, safely and accurately measure the temperature on a person's forehead. Infrared are beams of light not perceptible to the human eye, which can be used to read a person's body temperature without coming into contact with the surface. Another advantage over other types of thermometers is its ease of use, by simply placing it on the forehead of the person who wants to measure the temperature, we instantly obtain the result.

Portable measuring system

The second solution consists of a portable measurement tool based on a thermal imaging camera with the possibility of detection up to 1 meter away and with a precision of up to ± 0.5ºC. On the screen of the camera itself you can see the temperature of the people who pass in front of the camera at all times in real time.

Within this solution we have the most advanced in terms of portable thermal imaging camera. For this reason, we present two types of portable thermal imaging cameras, one with a thermal lens only and a dual lens (thermal/optical), which will allow us to recognize the person in the visible spectrum along with measuring their temperature. It also incorporates the possibility of monitoring the image in PC software or through a mobile APP.

Dual thermal imaging camera and monitoring software

The second solution is based on a dual thermal imaging camera for fever detection with the ability to measure temperature with an accuracy of up to ± 0.5ºC at a distance between 4 and 9 meters away. The camera incorporates an algorithm based on artificial intelligence for face detection and an audible alarm that will be activated when the temperature measured on a face exceeds the preconfigured alarm. This technology offers a fairly optimized quality-price ratio within the field of thermal imaging cameras for temperature measurement, since it is offering facial temperature detection and measurement of up to 30 faces at the same time with very high precision.

There is also the possibility of incorporating facial recognition equipment, in case you want to carry out a second review. Searches could be carried out by different departments within the same company or even search from any image. Additionally, it features an intuitive user interface with the temperature information needed for easy monitoring.

As a third thermal imaging camera solution for temperature measurement, we offer an even more precise measurement system than the previous ones. This is based on a dual IP thermal imaging camera with facial detection and body temperature measurement, along with a calibrator system. The calibrating element constantly emits precise infrared radiation with hardly any tolerance that the camera captures and takes as a reference, remaining calibrated at all times. In this way, the measurement system achieves a precision of up to ± 0.3ºC. This solution is recommended for the detection of fever with very high precision in areas with the most influx of people, being able to perform detections from 3 to 4 meters away.
