Mumbai: AI based cameras installed at CSMT, LTT to screen passengers

MUMBAI: Central Railway has set up a body screening facility Artificial Intelligence based technology FebriEye at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) to undertake health screening of passengers.
Presently all passengers boarding Mail/Express trains at CSMT and LTT are being scanned by Febrieye at the entry point for higher temperature before going inside the platform for boarding.
CR's chief public relations officer Shivaji Sutar said, "This ensures contact-less entry for train travellers in order to avoid spread of infection of coronavirus."
FebriEye is an AI based thermal screening system for real time and automated, non-intrusive monitoring to ensure that a person entering doesn’t have a high fever.
Sutar said, "FebriEye thermal cameras can cover large areas which means it can detect the temperature of multiple people entering at once at a premise and record temperature automatically while passengers keep on moving."
FebriEye is equipped with ‘Black Body’, a constant temperature source that ensures accuracy in temperature readings of up to 0.3 degree Celsius (+/-).
All railway staff and officers coming for duty at these two major stations are also being screened through this AI (Artificial Intelligence) based camera.
CR has already come up with two technological advances - one at Nagpur where Automated Ticket Checking and Managing Access (ATMA) machine has been installed and another at Pune where a Always be Responsible and Just Use to be Nice (ARJUN), a robotic Captain has been deployed.
FebriEye uses heat sensors that can record heat generated by the body of a person or an object to create a 2D image with differing temperature levels. When passengers pass before the cameras, anyone with temperature above the set range will be seen in a different colour pattern than the rest on the computer screen connected to the cameras.
