Since there was not a unique way are to predict how these diseases will affect our body both physically and mentally, since they can create some aftereffects in future too, there should be a suitable system which will efficiently detect these type of pandemic. In all these situations thermal screening had emerged as a remedial method for the detection of temperature variations. Among this Infrared thermography had been used as the best and effective method for fever screening. This survey presents some of the important papers which discussed how Infrared thermography can be effectively utilized for the detection of these epidemics by analyzing the temperature variations done in fever screening. Infrared thermography (IRT) is a method which uses an imaging scheme that gives you an image which is a thermal diagram that shows the temperature variations of various intensities. IRT uses the basic working principle from Stefan- Boltzmann Law, where the relationship between the temperature and the emissive power is established and the camera which is the infrared camera will capture this infrared energy and is converted into corresponding electronic signals. This paper gives a brief idea about various techniques used for fever screening which can be used to detect various diseases.Read More
