Abstract
An automated screening system includes an access control reader with one or more computer devices for screening a pre-registered individual seeking admittance into a controlled area. The system has a facial recognition database that stores a facial record for the individual. A camera system captures a facial image of the individual and the one or more computer devices determine whether it matches the facial record that is stored in the facial recognition database. A skin temperature sensor is used for obtaining a skin temperature reading for the individual. The one or more computer devices are configured to generate an electronic signal to admit the individual into the controlled area if the captured facial image matches the facial record that is stored in the facial recognition database and if the skin temperature reading for the individual is within an acceptable pre-established skin temperature range.
