Temperature Measurement Using An Automatic Thermogun

One of the characteristics of a person having a high fever or being in an unhealthy condition is a high body temperature. To find out what body temperature is, measuring human body temperature can use a body temperature measuring device or a thermogun. Thermogun is a tool that is able to measure temperature or temperature without touching the object. This research makes an automatic thermogun that could measure the temperature of the object in the right position, therefore added some equipment, namely a camera, ultrasonic sensor, and also a stepper motor. The ultrasonic sensor detects the distance to the object then the stepper motor moves according to that distance, then the temperature will appear on the LCD. If the temperature is too high, the camera will automatically take a photo of the object and the photos will be stored on a memory card. This thermometer uses infrared radiation which can measure temperature quickly and accurately 0.5% compared to commonly used factory-made thermogun.
