A multidisciplinary group of researchers from the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Computer Sciences led by Dr S.C. Fu, Research Assistant Professor of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), has recently explored a low-cost thermography fever detection system which is portable and can be easily accessed and mastered by users. Multiple trials have been conducted at the HKU campus since early May. The research team hopes that this portable thermography fever detection system can be applied in public transportation, such as taxis, shuttle buses and minibuses commonly in the future.
