This document describes a non-contact mass human temperature screening system called ThermScreen. ThermScreen uses a thermal imaging camera to detect human faces in a crowd and simultaneously measure the surface temperature of multiple people standing in a line. Environmental factors are compensated for to improve accuracy. Field tests at a hospital showed the system can measure temperatures at over 30 frames per second with high sensitivity and specificity when using the proper reference temperature. ThermScreen was deployed successfully at an airport and hospital during disease outbreaks.
This document describes a non-invasive lie detection system called TAD2 that analyzes thermal images of the face. TAD2 was developed as an alternative to traditional polygraph tests, which require physical sensors be attached to the body. TAD2 uses a thermal camera to track blood flow changes in the periorbital area and respiration patterns by analyzing the nostril area. Field tests on 14 subjects using three standardized questioning techniques showed an 84% accurate classification rate at detecting deception without physical contact. The developers aim to continue improving TAD2 through additional testing and developing more advanced baseline and scoring methods.
