Prototyping the QR Code-based pandemic guard system

Authors

Abstract

The widespread spread of covid-19 has made a significant impact on people's normal activities and routines in numerous ways. It is crucial that institutions such as schools and offices take measures to limit the spread of infectious diseases among their staff and students. Better preparation for future pandemic viruses and the use of technical solutions to improve the working environment during a pandemic are both essential. For the protection of the working professional, we have proposed a Pandemic Guard System. The proposed work takes advantage of contactless QR code scanning as a means of prevention. In this work, facial detection methods and QR code scanning replace the use of biometric fingerprint scanners for contactless scanning. Automatic scanning, preserving safe social distances, hand sanitisation, and other methods are used to take care of employees. There are two stages to implementation; the first one involves using implementing modules at the company bus and the second one focuses on the implementation of the modules at the company or workplace entrance. Additionally, this work delivers many layers of authenticity through the use of face recognition and QR codes.

Further face recognition-based attendance and QR code-based technological hardware software coexistence is connected to real-time data with the Firebase database for biometric attendance. Thus, we are proposing a more secure system ensuring e contactless operations are necessary.
