A Study on Implementing Physiology-Based Approach and Optical Flow Algorithm to Thermal Screening System for Flu Detection

Viral outbreaks such as SARS, H5N1, and H1N1 have led the need of temperature monitoring in areas where crowds are expected such as in hospitals and airports. Infrared (IR) thermal screening, hitherto, has been found as powerful, quick and non-invasive method to detect the elevated temperature of...
