Scientists have developed the first-ever Artificial Intelligence (AI) system in the fight against Coronavirus in China that can get results in less than a blink of an eye.
High body temperature is among the earliest signs and symptoms of Coronavirus infection. This new AI system, referred to as Firetinas, enables in examining multiple people with high body temperature.

Chinese schools, hospitals are already using the AI
The schools and hospitals in China are using this AI system that contains the infrared measurement of body temperature and the existing mask-face recognition algorithm. Though the coronavirus contamination is spreading every day, still there isn't any effective remedy to cure it.
Scientists at the University of Manchester and the University of Cambridge have found Firetinas as an effective method to halt the massive spread of Coronavirus infection not only in China but also worldwide through identifying individuals with early-stage high body temperature.
This newly developed and excessive-performance AI system is an incorporated circuit provided with NPU studying nearly 3 trillion instances every single second, tracking almost 100 people in a place of thousand square feet.
The integration of Firetinas in the face recognition algorithm helps inside the elimination of the elements that can affect the measurement of human temperature. The exclusion of such features like cigarette enables a more efficient dimension.
Scientists claim the AI system can get results in less than a blink of an eye
This advance technology could examine almost 100 people in just 0.05 seconds -- or in less than a blink of an eye. A blink of an eye takes 0.33 seconds.
Also, it makes it easier to harmonize the contact crowd and isolate the individuals who are suspected to be infected with the virus. Firetinas has made it feasible through recording the passenger's temperature statistics and face records to the server.
Scientists claim that the algorithm used in this Artificial Intelligence (AI) system can improve face recognition for masks with an accuracy of 99 percent. It shows that people without masks, mainly those living in the region affected by this Coronavirus outbreak, can be alerted.
In indoor environments, Firetinas can also help in accomplishing a precision of just about 0.1 degrees Celsius with the development of the first dual black body dynamic calibration algorithm.
It is easy to operate and setup Firetinas. This AI device can function in an all-in-one system incorporating a camera, neural network system, microcomputer, temperature sensor, and black bodies.

WHO claims the high risk of coronavirus
The World Health Organization (WHO) claims there is a very high risk of coronavirus worldwide. The recent reports provided through this organization on March 01, 2020, has proven that the full quantity of Coronavirus-infected individuals has surpassed 87,000, with the occurrence of 1739 in just 24 hours.
Whereas, the number of deaths has reached 2873 in China and 104 in other countries. Recently, the new cases of coronavirus affected individuals have been reported in the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Iraq, Canada, Brazil, Bahrain, Denmark, Korea, Japan, Norway, Sapin, and Switzerland.
The World Health Organization has announced the information regarding the confirmed Coronavirus cases in different regions of the arena and classified them based on their path of transmission. With the rapid growth in Coronavirus transmission in countries which include the United States, Singapore, Japan, Korea, and the Middle East, Firetinas is seeking out partners to halt the spread of this disease.
