Disclosed is a process for implementing an automated analytics for insuring compliance for a thermographic protocol for subjects seeking a temperature check, perhaps for entrance or access to a controlled space or facility. The automated video analytics utilize one or more cameras to detect thermography compliance violations based on whether the subject is perspiring, dehydrated, recently consumed a beverage, has exposed skin, excessive clothing, the amount and type of activity before getting screened, and/or the external and internal temperatures at the controlled facility associated with the subject. Furthermore, the automated video analytics may create a non-compliance score and/or control a timer for a non-compliance detection. Also, short and long term collected data may be analyzed for compliance to guidelines.

According to at least one aspect, the present disclosure provides a vehicle camera comprising: a lens module; a circuit board including an image sensor configured to convert light incident through the lens module into an electrical signal; a front housing having the lens module coupled to a front side thereof and the circuit board coupled to a rear side thereof; a rear housing coupled to the rear side of the front housing and provided to surround the circuit board; an outer cover configured to surround at least a portion of the lens module, the outer cover including one or more infrared passing portions; and a depth camera module included inside the outer cover and coupled to the front side of the front housing, the depth camera module being configured to capture an image for detecting an obstacle around the vehicle using the infrared passing portion.

Systems and methods are disclosed for locating a retroreflective object in a digital image and/or identifying a feature of the retroreflective object in the digital image. In certain environmental conditions, e.g. on a sunny day, or when the retroreflective material is damaged or soiled, it may be more challenging to locate the retroreflective object in the digital image and/or to identify a feature of the object in the digital image. The systems and methods disclosed herein may be particularly suited for object location and/or feature identification in situations in which there is a strong source of ambient light (e.g. on a sunny day) and/or when the retroreflective material on the object is damaged or soiled.
