Covid-19 Based Automated Screening System

Being extremely cautious is a must right now because of the disastrous times mankind is facing. When the lockdown was lifted and movement began in schools, colleges and various organizations, a second wave of the deadly Coronavirus began infecting people at a much faster pace. The need of the hour is to maintain as many precautions as possible including but not limited to always wearing a mask in public, maintaining social distancing of 6 feet, frequent hand sanitization and self-isolating oneself if Covid-19 symptoms are encountered. In such situations, the organizations need to make sure that people safeguard themselves by deploying necessary precautions. It occurred that manual screening of people at the entrance gets tedious and is prone to exposure which calls for a contactless and a mechanized screening system. This motivated us to devise a system for containing the virus to a certain extent wherein a person will be screened at the entry of an organization on the grounds of Mask Detection, Face Recognition and Contactless Temperature Detection. Neural networks and Deep Learning are used for Mask Detection making sure people wear masks properly. Face Recognition matches the individuals with the existing database followed by Contactless Temperature Detection using IR Sensors to measure the temperature of the person to check if he/she is showing the symptoms of coronavirus causing a threat to other people. We, thus, devise a feasible yet an effective solution to the problems posed.
