Facial Imaging Technology for COVID-19 Detection Purposes Underway at 5 Hawaiʻi Airports
Facial imaging technology is now in use at five Hawaiʻi airports to complete Phase III of the thermal temperature screening and facial imaging project designed to detect passengers with possible COVID-19 arriving on trans-Pacific flights, according to the Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT).
133 Temperature Screening Cameras Installed at All Gates at Hawai‘i’s Five Busiest Airports
The installation of 133 cameras at all gates of the five airports completes phases one and two of the project. Phase three will add the facial imaging technology and is scheduled to be completed by Dec. 31, 2020.
Thermal Screening Cameras Now in Place at Five Hawai‘i Airports
Phase 2 of the project will install the temperature scanning equipment at the remaining gates by Aug. 20. Phase 3 expects to have the facial imaging equipment installed by Dec. 31, 2020.
$90 Million Appropriated for Hawai‘i Airport COVID-19 Screening
A facial imaging tracking system and monitoring control rooms will be installed throughout the terminal to track a suspected passenger until they are intercepted for further screening. Total cost is $18.5 million, with an additional $17.5 million for a 10-year maintenance program.
