You need infrared camera

...more precisely a thermal infrared camera. It will give you for each pixel the temperature (in degrees C).

A few tips: try to integrate several frames to get a mean temperature (it can vary slightly because of the air).

To get the temperature, either aim the camera at the front of the people (using a crosshair) -this is a simple solution, or you'll need to use automatic face detection. As the thermal images look different, you might need to train a face recognizer for this type of image.
