Systems, methods and computer program products for detecting individuals with fever in view of acute infection of the individual

An apparatus for detecting a plurality of persons with a fever in view of an acute infection of the plurality of persons for access control for a plurality of secured areas, the apparatus comprising

• a camera for capturing a first image, wherein the first image has a first image data of at least a first person in a visible spectrum;
• a thermal imaging camera for capturing a second image, wherein the second image includes a second image data of the first person and a temperature reference apparatus in an infrared spectrum, and wherein the second image at least in sections has an identical image area as the first image;
• a temperature reference apparatus, wherein the temperature reference apparatus is positioned within an image area of the second image;
• and
• a computing apparatus having a processing device, and a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium in communication with the processing device, wherein the non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium comprising one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to:
• superimpose the first image and the second image to form a third image based on the identical image area, the third image having a third image data of the first image and the second image,
• determine a first measuring point within the image data of the first person,
• determine a first temperature for the first measuring point on the basis of the third image and the image data of the temperature reference apparatus, and
• generate a fourth image, wherein the fourth image includes a fourth image data of the first person and a representation of the first temperature.

A computer program product for detecting a plurality of persons with fever, in view of a plurality of acute infections of the plurality of persons, for access control to a plurality of secure areas, the computer program product comprising

• a computing apparatus having a processing device and a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium in communication with the processing device, wherein the non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium comprising one or more programming instructions that, when executed by the computer program product, cause the processing device to:
• acquire a first image by a camera, the first image including a first image data of at least a first person in a visible spectrum;
• acquire a second image by a thermal imaging camera, wherein the second image includes a second image data of the first person and a temperature reference apparatus in an infrared spectrum, and wherein the second image, at least in sections, has an identical image area as the first image;
• superimpose the first image and the second image to form a third image based on the identical image area, wherein the third image includes a third image data of the first image and the second image;
• determine a first measurement point within the first image data of the at least first person of the first image;
• and
• determine a first temperature for the first measurement point based on the third image and the second image data of the temperature reference apparatus.
