With the spread of coronavirus disease in 2019 worldwide, in only two months, societies were significantly affected in many aspects, such as the economy, transportation, education, health infrastructure, and even the military. At present, the infection test is expensive and time-consuming, and cures are still under development. For the public, measuring forehead temperatures is a common method of identifying candidates for further investigation and treatment. As few confirmed cases have been reported in Taiwan, most schools remain open. To prevent disease transmission on campuses, the Ministry of Education, and so on has mandated daily temperature checks for everyone. Although such a check can be performed in seconds for an individual, large amounts of human resources are required to perform this task each day during the epidemic period. As a result, there is an urgent need to develop a suitable monitoring and management system. This developed thermal camera technology proposes a complete solution that includes cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology to meet this objective.

Epidemic Prevention Advantage：
1. "Thermal image body temperature anomaly detection technology", in addition to the fineness and accuracy of recognition, the main difference from infrared sensors in the market is that it has "AI artificial intelligence recognition", which can directly lock the face for forehead temperature detection No need to worry about cats, dogs, buses, cars and locomotives entering randomly, not to mention the inaccurate situation that the machine detects that the temperature is too high while holding hot food or hot coffee.

2. In addition, we use intelligent temperature compensation technology to reduce external environmental interference such as light, airflow, or humidity, so that personnel can perform screening outdoors. "Both indoor and outdoor" improvements to existing infrared body temperature sensors mostly require Restrictions for installing indoors.

3. Introduce the "multi-person dynamic measurement" function, which can measure all people within 1-3 meters at the same time through facial recognition so that the flow of people during the measurement can be quickly cleared, which can also effectively reduce the labor burden.

4. In order to measure body temperature more efficiently, a relatively inexpensive sensor chip is used, with an algorithm to correct each color image, combined with the Internet of Things, it can also be connected to the mobile phone to control the background, which can be easily operated without professionals. It is suitable for a large number of application requirements such as "quick deployment" in campuses or enterprises.
