In this project, we will build a Thermal Fever Detector with MLX90640 32X24 Thermal Image Array IR Camera using the OpenCV Python Code on the Raspberry Pi System. In a previous project, we build a DIY Thermal Imaging Camera using the MLX90640 & Raspberry Pi 4. Later we realized, we could build a fever detection system as well.

The project uses MLX90640 Thermal Camera to detect and visualize thermal hotspots that exceed a specified temperature threshold, suggesting a fever. The Raspberry Pi processes the thermal image data using OpenCV, and applies a color map for visualization. Then it continuously monitors and displays the highest temperatures and conditions (“Normal” or “Fever Detected“) in a graphical user interface.

During the time of COVID, Thermal Cameras were used for Fever Detection & Identifying possible COVID patients. When Raspberry Pi & OpenCV are integrated into a fever detection system, the MLX90640 can scan multiple individuals simultaneously from a safe distance, identifying those with elevated body temperatures that may indicate a fever. This application is particularly useful in public spaces such as airports, hospitals, and schools, where rapid, mass screening is essential for health monitoring and disease prevention.
