Currently humans are employed for temperature screening and mask identification in public places to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We have temperature testing systems for all scanning entrances, but manual temperature scanning has numerous drawbacks. The staff isn’t well-versed in the use of temperature scanners. When reading values, there is space for human error. People are often allowed entry despite higher temperature readings or the lack of masks. For large crowds, a manual scanning device is ineffective. Hence there arises a need to have an automatic system that checks for temperature and mask. We propose a fully automated temperature scanner and entry provider system to solve this issue. The system uses a contactless temperature scanner and a camera to capture image. If a high temperature or the absence of a mask is observed, the scanner is connected to a gate like structure that prevents entry. To monitor the entire process, the device uses a temperature sensor and camera connected to a Raspberry Pi system. The main theme of this paper is to automate the entire covid scanning process for reducing risk of spread COVID-19 in highly crowded places such as malls, schools and colleges.
