Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A non-contact body temperature detection system of a vehicle, the system comprising:
a thermography camera configured to generate an image of a user within a passenger cabin of the vehicle;
a head detection module configured to determine a first area of the image including a head of the user;
an eye detection module configured to determine a second area within the first area of the image including an eye of the user;
a tear duct detection module configured to determine a third area within the second area of the image including a tear duct of the user;
a temperature module configured to determine a body temperature of the user based on pixels within the third area of the image,
wherein the temperature module is configured to:
determine a respective temperature for each pixel in the first area, the second area, and the third area; and
determine the body temperature based on the temperatures of the pixels, respectively;
an indicator module configured to indicate whether the user has an elevated body temperature when the body temperature of the user is greater than a temperature threshold; and
a threshold module configured to:
set the temperature threshold to a first predetermined temperature in response to a determination that the user is an adult; and
set the temperature threshold to a second predetermined temperature in response to a determination that the user is not an adult.
