COVID-19 outbreaks and becomes serious from 2019 winter. Taking body temperature, wearing masks, recording footprint and avoiding crowds become important tasks and require a lot of manpower support for the prevention of the epidemic in every. In this study, we have integrated the infrared thermometer devices to measure people temperature and the people identities through RGB images at the entrance of buildings. Using the computer vision and deep learning methods, we would like to build a 24/7 and region-wide coverage assistance system to automatically record the footprint of a specific people in the building. We also detect if people taking off their masks in the yard at any time. The processing videos are grabbed from the existing CCTV systems. The developed system also locates the crowd and calculate the number of people in a specified area, and the manager can know the number of people and control the access in real time. It will reduce the burden of manpower. In addition, we have optimized the system performance to handle multiple camera videos and to reduce the hardware cost at the same time.
