ECE 110/120 Honors Lab Section : Infrared Contactless Thermometer

Statement of Purpose

The project we aim to build is an Infrared Contactless Thermometer which will be an open-source non-contact thermometer used to detect fever.

Background Research

Keeping the ongoing pandemic in mind and the thousands of lives that it has affected, this device promises to be a required asset. Temperature screenings are carried out quite often to check whether a person has fever or not as a preventive measure. We aim to accomplish a cost-effective way to do this with our contactless thermometer supported by a detailed record of people who've taken the test and their results. 

Block Diagram / Flow Chart

Provide a simple block diagram of your hardware design. A block diagram is a schematic graphic that shows the interactions between different components in a hardware or software system. If appropriate, please also include a flow chart showing the steps your design needs to go through to function. The online program draw.io is a great tool to create polished block diagrams and flow charts. Likewise Microsoft's visio is also a great program to create block diagrams and flow charts.

System Overview

Provide descriptions to your block diagram and flow chart. State the purpose of each block.

Parts

Provide a list of parts that you may need for your project. You should include details such as the quantity, model number, purpose, vendor, and price (excluding taxes and shipping) for each part. This list may change as you work on your project.
