Abstract

There is provided a computer implemented method for analyzing a thermal image for enforcing mask wearing compliance, comprising: receiving a thermal image of a subject captured by a sensor, analyzing the thermal image to identify an indication of estimated temperature of a region of a face of the subject, in response to the estimated temperature being below a temperature threshold, detecting lack of mask wearing compliance, and generating instructions for meeting proper mask wearing compliance.
