Claim 11:
12. A non-contact body temperature detection method for a vehicle, the method comprising:
by a thermography camera, generating an image of a user within a passenger cabin of the vehicle;
determining a first area of the image including a head of the user;
determining a second area within the first area of the image including an eye of the user;
determining a third area within the second area of the image including a tear duct of the user;
determining a body temperature of the user based on pixels within the third area of the image including:
determining a respective temperature for each pixel in the first area, the second area, and the third area; and
determining the body temperature based on the temperatures of the pixels, respectively;
indicating whether the user has an elevated body temperature when the body temperature of the user is greater than a temperature threshold;
setting the temperature threshold to a first predetermined temperature in response to a determination that the user is an adult; and
setting the temperature threshold to a second predetermined temperature in response to a determination that the user is not an adult.
