Kiosk Information Systems teams with VSBLTY on thermal imaging solution
October 9, 2020
VSBLTY Groupe Technologies Corp., a provider of security and retail marketing technology, has signed a partnership agreement in the development of a thermal screening solution with Kiosk Information Systems, according to a press release.
The Kiosk Entry Series provides contactless, self-service technology to measure people for "at-risk" temperatures at the point of admittance, thereby reducing virus transmission potential between the operator and the person being scanned. The solution is supported by Kiosk Managed Services to ensure uptime and security for a seamless user experience.
VSBLTY's artificial intelligence-driven, facial recognition software will be used to enhance the facility access functionality of the Kiosk Entry Series models, enabling businesses to provide employee check-in while anonymously screening guests and visitors. Additional features include mask detection, access control integration capability, as well as scannable QR codes for users to conduct optional health surveys on their own smart phone.
To ensure the system is measuring both temperature and subject distance, the Entry Series utilizes a dual-camera sensor array to increase data points and accuracy. One sensor camera provides high-performance thermal imaging to capture an on-screen temperature scan. The second sensor camera utilizes sensing technology to calculate the distance between the camera and the subject.
The technology further enables the camera to detect that it is reading an actual face — as opposed to an object or a picture of a face. Together, the sensor array provides an appropriate field of view with a temperature readout accuracy of ±0.5 degrees Celsius. The contactless scan reads and reports an individual's temperature to an operator.
Scanned records are completely anonymous unless the subject knowingly opts into an employee recognition database. The operator then has the appropriate information to either grant entry based on facility protocols and policies (no intervention) or enact secondary screening for exceptions of elevated temperature.
