COVID-19 - Alliance - BATMAN: Body Accurate Temperature Measurement Approach by Non-Contact infrared

“COVID-19 - Alliance - BATMAN：通过非接触式红外线精确测量体温的方法”：在许多情况下，人的体温是一个非常重要的数据。它可以标记潜在的警告情况，例如在机场，入境口岸，诊所的候诊室，以及显然在医院和重症监护室（ICU）中，由于医务人员的潜在风险，使用普通温度计进行传统测量是不可能的或应避免的。 虽然市场上有很多«红外温度设备»的产品，但众所周知，这些设备“照原样”对于精确的温度测量来说充其量是无用的。我们对蝙蝠侠的建议是一种准确的方法：结合使用人工智能的高级图像处理的热模型将及时跟踪和跟踪人，定位测量的感兴趣区域，并准确地提供相对于黄金标准医学测量的小于0.25 ℃的人的温度（直肠，口腔），这归功于利用存在于所使用的红外相机的视场中的目标参考温度（黑体）的连续校准。对于该项目，在获得所有伦理批准的情况下允许进入ICU，预计在项目年内将记录超过1000例患者（在CISSS Chaudièere/Appalaches，CISSS：Centre de Sante et Services Sociaux / Health and Social Services Center，Hôpital Hôtel-Dieu-de-Lévis）。 此外，我们确定了“加拿大解决方案”的子要素，以尽可能避免去年冬天我们遇到的与医疗用品进口有关的问题。最后，我们的工业合作伙伴将为参与团队的个人提供各种红外摄像机，计算机和软件。

"COVID-19 - Alliance - BATMAN: Body Accurate Temperature Measurement Approach by Non-Contact infrared": In many situations, person's temperature is a very important data to obtain. It could flag a potential warning situation, such as at airports, ports of entry, waiting rooms in clinics, and obviously in hospitals and in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) where traditional measurements with usual thermometers are either impossible or to be avoided due to potential risks for medical personal. While there are plenty of offers on the market for «infrared temperature devices», it is known that taken "as is" such devices are at best useless for accurate temperature measurement. What we propose with BATMAN is an accurate approach: a thermal model coupled with advanced image processing using artificial intelligence will follow in-time and track the person, locate the zones of interests for the measurement and accurately provide a temperature of that person within less than 0.25 C with respect to the gold standard medical measurements (rectal, oral), thank to a continuous calibration with a with a target reference temperature (a blackbody) present in the field of view of the used infrared camera. For the project an ICU access is granted with all ethical approvals and it is expected more than 1 000 patients will be recorded during the year of the project (at CISSS Chaudièere/Appalaches, CISSS: Centre de Sante et Services Sociaux / Health and Social Services Center, Hôpital Hôtel-Dieu-de-Lévis). Moreover we identified sub-elements for a «Canadian solution» to avoid as much as possible the issues related to import of medical supplies we experienced last winter. Finally our industrial partner will provide access to a variety of infrared cameras, computers, software for the involved team personal.
