Contactless Attendance cum Temperature Detection System with Real-time Alerts

Since the outbreak of the global pandemic (Covid-19) caused by the coronavirus, contactless systems have become widely prevalent. Partial operation of offices, colleges and other workplaces across the country has started. However, in such situations, it is difficult to monitor and track the status of the health of every attendee and employee. In this paper, we aim to build a smart automated contactless attendance system that can also track attendee's temperature, which too is done in a contactless fashion. In the case that an attendee has an abnormally high temperature, the respective authorities are informed and the employee is prohibited from entry to their workplace, considering the safety of the other employees. We have also incorporated concepts of cloud monitoring and computing to be able to monitor the details of every attendee from anywhere using an internet connection. Moreover, cloud computing helps us to analyse this data and generate automated alerts when needed.
