Summary:
A Czech SME offers a body temperature scanning plug & play infrared imaging camera with high potential to master the fight against the coronavirus etc. That solution is based on a real-time continuous calibration using black body radiation source to achieve great accuracy and stability. Advantages are dual use, high accuracy (0,3 °C) and sensitivity (0,03 °C) and onboard software (online temperature alarms and AI). Company is looking for distribution agreement.
Description:
CCTV cameras (Close-Circuit TV) can protect valuable assets, continuous production or services and large numbers of employees and people at reasonable costs.
CCTV have wide range of applications, especially in strategic protection of critical infrastructure such as power plants, airports, refineries, banks and insurance companies, warehousing and food companies, military facilities, government institutions, hospitals, office and commercial centers and other major hot-spots with many people.
The Czech SME due to the high global risk of spreading infectious diseases (currently coronavirus) built new generation dual-infrared camera for human temperature control like Covid-19 and virus detection illnesses.
The company target sectors are transport, logistics, industry, finance, food, health sector, security, military, property and real estate management etc. New measures with this dual camera are effective and feasible.
Potential savings could be in personal sources and with incorporation in existing equipment (no additional monitor is needed) due to automation and operational software (image + video). Open software based on System Development Kit (SDK) enable to integrate own algorithms based on AI (Artificial Intelligence).
The thermal camera offered by the Czech SME allows to measure the temperature of the human skin and is therefore effective when the body temperature increases for instance due to virus infection. The average body temperature on the skin surface of a healthy human is in the range of approximately 35,8°C to 37°C.
If the human temperature (measured on the surface) exceeds 37°C, it may be an overheating of the body or a defensive reaction of the immune system to the infection of the organism (here the surface temperature can rise up to 4°C, i.e. to 41°C).
The camera accuracy is ± 0,3 °C (temperature accuracy according to reference blackbody). Standard infrared LWIR ( Long Wavelength Infrared) measurement works on ± 2°C accuracy, which is absolutely not acceptable for the desired application (Covid-19).
The camera offers automated monitoring for longer distance more than 2 meters (comparing with existing products). Advanced AI processing helps security personal and increase the efficiency of surveillance (alarm). The lack of accuracy of scanning (± 2°C), high risk for security personal before and the technical difficulties of previous solutions were major current problems. Increase of productivity is significant, savings of 1-2 people is estimated.
In general, offered thermal camera can be used to detect virtually all types of viral (standard flu or for instance SARS but also for instance EBOLA) or bacterial diseases (common angina) in humans (swine flu, SARS, coronavirus, H5N1, bird flue etc.).
The SME is looking for partners with experience in the area of CCTV cameras etc. or security installations based on a distribution agreement.
