Security company is using thermal imaging and AI to identify people with a temperature of 100 degrees.
Lisa Falzone, co-founder and CEO of Athena Security, said the platform combines infrared cameras and an algorithm that analyzes body temperature to detect people who have a temperature higher than 100 degrees.
Customers using Athena's gun detection system include schools, places of worship, and Fortune 500 companies as well as the U.S. Air Force.
The company is planning to discuss the idea of using the cameras at polling places and other venues where people could still congregate in large numbers.
The system can integrate with access control systems and other security systems via an API. IPVM, a video surveillance research firm, recently questioned the marketing claims made by Athena Security in regard to the coronavirus detection cameras.
