Facial skin temperature (FST) has also gained prominence as an indicator for detecting anomalies such as fever due to the COVID-19. When FST is used for engineering applications, it is enough to be able to recognize normal. We are also focusing on research to detect some anomaly in FST. In a previous study, it was confirmed that abnormal and normal conditions could be separated based on FST by using a variational autoencoder (VAE), a deep generative model. However, the simulations so far have been a far cry from reality. In this study, normal FST with a diurnal variation component was defined as a normal state, and a model of normal FST in daily life was individually reconstructed using VAE. Using the constructed model, the anomaly detection performance was evaluated by applying the Hotelling theory. As a result, the area under the curve (AUC) value in ROC analysis was confirmed to be 0.89 to 1.00 in two subjects.
