content: Hi all,I have recently acquired one of these cameras to use with a Samsung S8 which is on their compatibility listHowever when I connect it and use P2 Pro or pretty much any of the recommended software all I see is the opening page of the ap but no thermal image.I have tried several combinations for connecting the camera such as directly in to the charging port and various cables including the one supplied with the camera.I have also tried these setups with other mobile phones on the compatible list with much the same result.From what I have seen on various YouTube videos it should be pretty much a plug and play situation.Having said that I have also read that there exist specific OTG cables.Is this something I need as I understand there an extra pin to the standard USB cables?Can anyone suggest anything I might have missed or need to configure.Many thanks in anticipation for any helpRobin

Fluke Tir32 continuous (re)calibration ? - Page 1

content: Hi,my TIR32 works more or less OK, temps seem OK (things from the freezer, boiling water, etc...), but every 30 secs or so, it freezes and says 'calibration' for a few seconds, and then works fine again...I think to recall having seen similar behaviour on Fluke thermal cams of similar generation (Ti25,...), but not at this frequency.It doesn't make the cam unusable, but it's somehow annoying.I asked Fluke about their calibration: 710€ or 1065€ (excl. VAT), for a CALNET vs. CALINTL calibration respectively (flagged as 'ISO9001 traceable' for the first, and 'Accredited' for the 2nd ??).Not being even sure that a calibration is gonna fix the issue, that's sounds quite a lot to me...Any thoughts/suggestions ?

content: Does the intervalls get longer when the unit is on for a while?I don‘t have one, but this is the internal calibration with a shutter. At the beginning the device warms up and it compensate the temperature drift. After a few minutes the temperature should be stable and it need less calibrations.

content: Depending on how much access you have to the configuration, usually there are two methods they use to trigger NUC calibration - either a certain amount of change in temperature of the core, a certain number of frames taken, or both. As previously mentioned, if the interval gets longer over time when the camera is operating, it's probably the delta temperature method - as the core warms up to its equilibrium point, the change slows and the interval gets longer. If it's a fixed timeframe, it's likely just counting a thousand or two frames and then automatically rerunning the calibration. A hybrid of the two is probably most useful (recalibrate after a certain temperature change or after a large number of frames), and they are likely just values in configuration firmware, but I don't know if every system will actually give you access as the user.This behavior doesn't have to do with the radiometric calibration units get to read out temperatures correctly.

content: The FLIR DM284 thermal imager has been offered to me for $450. The current model (285) is about double that, new. It seems a bit of an oddball device, combining a thermal imager with a pretty mediocre multimeter. I’m really just interested in the thermal imaging capability.https://flir.netx.net/file/asset/9082/original/attachmentPIgnore the price. It seems a tad on the high side. I’m just curious how I’d evaluate the state of such a device if i were to meet the seller. Of course I can point it at some stuff and see how it reads and if that seems gut-feel-correct … but what are some of the things that break in a device like this and how do I confirm it still works?

For each photo I need to manually select 1, 2 or 3 regions of interest (ROI) and use some of the stats of them (at least the max, maybe also min and mean). Does anyone know if there is a way to export the stats of the ROIs of multiple images at once?

content: EDIT: Found a way to make this easier. Go into researchIR > export. Select "export stats" then change the export type to movie. You have to check off the export stats box before you change the filetype, otherwise the box will grey out and you wont be able to select it. Export the movie. In the same folder will be a stats file per frame, reflecting your ROIs.Hi,Very old thread but checking in to see if there are any newly developed methods for this. The previous poster offered a good solution w/ the github repository, but I was hoping there'd be something a little easier and less cumbersome, especially for getting multiple users set up.Essentially, to reiterate the problem, ResearchIR spits out a .seq file w/ thermal data in it. You can go back through this file (this file containing one frame of data or multiple frames of data). You can set an ROI in the image using the ResearchIR software which will give you a readout ("stats") of what the temperature is in that exact location. Buit if you want to export this text information, you have to acrub through the .seq file and manually export the "stats" per frame. So if you have 100 frames...Is anyone aware of ways to loop through this? Will do some googling, see if I can find a way to script the software via python or something.Thanks,

content: I don't have a Ulefone specifically but have helped friends & family out who bought phones from random second-tier Chinese manufacturers that looked like they had lots of cool features for a better price than more mainstream models. Problem with a lot of these is that they'll get maybe one firmware upgrade ever, to fix some of the most obvious bugs, and after that they're abandonware as the next model comes out and they shift their focus to that. So check their history of firmware updates to see whether you're going to end up going in via adb to flash some dubious image from a web site in Romania that claims to fix the dropped-calls issue.

Also, I do enjoy huge batteries, if they can keep heavy use for more than one or two days. I wouldn't mind the size as a trade-off.I thought that there were at least a few users on this forum with this model who could tell me more about every day use and how many bugs there are.Regards,Vitor

There's one of these right now on eBay with a dirt cheap starting bid, and I'd like to buy it. However the guy selling it doesn't know what all the wires are for (only which wires are for power and video), and he says it stops outputting video after a few minutes after power on. My hunch is that it's the wires that he doesn't know what they do, that are used to keep it running. Maybe they are digital data lines, and they need to receive a certain digital code from the microcontroller of whatever hardware the cor is installed in, to signal it to keep running. So if that's the case, then bidding on this core would be a great way for me to get a cheap 30hz thermal core. If these wires unknown wires are NOT for keeping the core running, then the problem is most likely that it's damaged and I can avoid bidding and save my money. So please send me the pinout of this core.

In the AGA Thermovision 750 manual there is a section detailing potential uses for the Liquid Nitrogen cooled portable camera. To illustrate the scenarios, a cartoonist called Christina Lundqvist was engaged. I attach four of her cartoons from that manual. Just look at the little cartoon character holding the camera .... always smilingIn truth, lugging around the bulky and heavy AGA 7xx series camera would soon wipe the smile off of the users faceI include a more realistic picture of a typical AGA 7xx camera user loaded down with the chest mounted controller/monitor.

content: To preface this, I'm brand new to thermal imaging and am coming at this from a software perspective.I want to convert Tif files (such as those generated by a FLIR PM390) to a Jpeg image (such as those generated by a FLIR GF309), preserving thermal metadata with as much fidelity as possible.I began working on my own tool to do so programmatically, but even using the below resources I lack a deep enough understanding to do so successfully.https://exiftool.org/TagNames/FLIR.htmlhttps://irinfo.org/04-01-2006-colbert/https://ams.confex.com/ams/97Annual/webprogram/Handout/Paper308052/FLIR-Interface-Requirements-TIFF.pdfI've seen lots of tools for converting thermal images to and from various formats (even .Jpeg to .Tif) but have never found any that can convert from a .Tif to a .Jpeg. If anyone knows of such a tool or has any other advice I would very much like to hear it. As an alternative, I've been looking into converting images in the FLIR public image format (.fpf) as an alternative, if that helps.

All pocket 2 images were taken with auto level/span while T2s+ doesn't offer manual level/span. Both have 256x192 sensors with 25hz readouts.All the dual picture collages have pocket 2 on the left side and T2s+ on the right.

For my specific use case of occasional hobby use, T2S+ was better (image clarity and quality) and cheaper. But if there is an intention to use it professionally as well, Pocket 2 is a much better buy. It offers nice analysis and reporting tools that T2S+ simply cant do as it doesn't capture radiometric data with images as far as I know.

content: FLIR disposable lens protectors use polyolefin film. I recommend 12 micron or 15 micron thickness. It is easily bought as food and product shrink wrap ! Not expensive and applying some heat will shrink it so when in a frame it pulls tight.Be aware that if you create a ‘top cover’ made wholly of polyolefin film, heat will radiate through it easily, unlike if a solid, thermally opaque or reflective, top cover were fitted. This could effect the validity of your measurements. A small window in a solid cover that exposes an area of interest may be a better idea.The film will introduce a small measurement error due to its less than perfect transmission characteristics, but you can experiment with it to adjust your temperature measurements. Some cameras even have the menu option to input a thermal windows transmission figure for automatic correction to measurements.Fraser

Depends what US EAR think about 30mK cameras.

content: It's interesting to note, that pixel pitch isn't equal to pixel size. The active area of the pixel is smaller. There are structures in between the pixels that don't serve for any detection. So the larger pixel pitches have a better ratio of active area versus wasted area.Pixel geometry does change over the generations, and it's also what sets Leonardo DRS apart from FLIR, ULIS etc. They go 10μm and even 8μm while 12μm pitch is broadly the rest.There were some neat images of the different pixel designs from research papers on image sensors world blog, for examplehttp://image-sensors-world.blogspot.com/2020/08/infiray-microbolometric-imagers-progress.html?m=1You would think that image processing did improve over the years, as processing power becomes more available - but the Boson failed to really do it.

Does anyone know how to extract or where to find the laser-determined distance from a FLIR thermogram?For our project it is important that we know how far an object was when a thermogram was taken. For this we want to use the laser-determined distance, because our photographers don't have the time to measure it manually.We looked at the object distance parameter, but for several thermograms we took, the embedded object distance metadata did not watch the laser-determined distance presented on the camera's screen. For example, for 2 thermograms the laser measured respectively 2.6 and 4.9 meters distance (shown on screen), while the object distance parameter is 10.0 We have an FLIR E75s.Does anyone have tips?
