Domestic Device for Contactless Face Recognition and Temperature Measurement

Supported by TÜBİTAK and KOSGEB, the relevant organizations of the Ministry of Industry and Technology, and METU Technocity Coremate Bilişim ve Savunma Sanayi Ticaret AŞ, which operates under artificial intelligence With the device developed by making use of technology, it is aimed to provide effective control of isolation at points where social and public space mobility is concentrated.

Face recognition feature on live streaming video CoreSafe The device named can perform many operations at the same time, such as mask detection and high-precision contactless temperature measurement from a distance.

Apart from detecting Covid-19 symptoms, the device enables the use of masks in areas with high human visits and instant monitoring of the number of people in a certain place.

'Many Features in One Device'

Making a statement to AA correspondent, Coremate AŞ Chairman of the Board of Directors Bahadır KüçükStating that they are trying to develop the product in order to make people's lives easier and make them feel safe, “While people move in the routine flow of life, transactions can be made quickly from a distance and without interacting with the device for a long time.” he said.

Küçük emphasized that the spread and contagion rate of Covid-19 is high and that the virus can be detected with the device. chain of contagion He stated that the aim is to effectively monitor social and public space isolations.

of the device, disease symptoms Stating that it will ensure that those who show symptoms are quickly directed to health institutions, Küçük said that this will contribute to early treatment and reducing contamination. Small, in terms of software and design of the device with local and national resources Emphasizing that it was developed and that it contains many features at the same time, he said:

"The device offers a combination of technologies such as artificial intelligence, artificial neural networks, facial recognition technology, high-precision non-contact sensors, and high-resolution cameras, without the need for people to stand and wait in front of the device as in conventional facial recognition systems. Although the widely used hand thermometers are non-contact, they can measure from a maximum of 5 centimeters. This poses a risk as officers exceed the social distance from people. Thermal cameras, on the other hand, perform wide-area observations. CoreSafe offers the optimum solution for non-contact long distance and one-to-one crossing operations. All The cost of the system is below the budget allocated for just a single thermal camera.”

Küçük said that the device can determine the current number of people inside by counting entrances and exits at the place of use, and therefore can provide information to rescue teams with the data obtained in cases such as natural disasters, earthquakes and fires.

'It will be available for sale in June'

Küçük stated that they decided to offer the device to the market in versions according to needs and demands; The first version includes face recognition, personnel tally tracking, mask control, temperature measurement, counting and detailed reporting modules. in the first half of June He stated that they aim to offer it for sale.

Informing that work is continuing for the version that will also detect minor eye redness, "In order to achieve high accuracy rates, the artificial neural networks and artificial intelligence we have developed need to be trained further. We anticipate that this version will be on the market in August." he said.
