Fever detection & classroom temperature adjustment: Using infrared cameras

Classrooms or closed areas in general have a higher chance of transmitting viral and bacterial diseases such as flu or influenza. In this paper we are proposing a new system that will help to prevent the spread of a viral disease in classrooms at its early stage by keeping track of the students´ body temperature. The system uses multiple infrared cameras that controls the room temperature and also detects students with a temperature higher than 37^oC. Once the camera detects a student with a temperature higher than 37^oC it sends a report to the school nurse to take immediate action. The system also adjusts the class room temperature according to the students´ body temperature by averaging the students´ body temperature.
