Reading now: 380
A non-invasive thermal imaging technology with the potential to detect one of the symptoms of the novel coronavirus is being tested at a Hamilton, Ont., grocery store.
Hamilton startup Longan Vision, made up of McMaster University engineering alumni and students, has augmented its Gatekeeper project, creating a platform to scan people for elevated temperatures.
The main purpose of the technology, developed in just a few weeks, is to read the temperature of subjects in view of the device.
Gatekeeper is made up of two cameras — one normal and one thermal — which combine to produce images of people in view and provide visual temperature readouts of each person’s face.
