Thanks to the generous donation of Tunghai Women’s Association, three Infrared thermographers are installed at three major entrances on Tunghai campus to alleviate the long queue of temperature-taking during peak hours.
The IR thermographers are developed by National Chung-Shan Institute of Science & Technology (NCSIST). Multiple technical team from NCSIST, led by the director of its Materials and Electro-Optical Division Dr. Yi-Cheng Cheng, and Dr. Guo-Ren Chang, are stationed on campus to facilitate the launch of the epidemic prevention.

The NCSIST utilizes its inhouse technology of room temperature IR imaging to develop these lightweight thermal imagers. The high-resolution room temperature IR thermal imaging module, in combination with NCSIST’s patented algorithm in IR measurement, ensures measurement accuracy within 1 degree Celsius. The performance is much better than those of like products of major international manufacturers.
