content: Hi,We have and are happy with a Wiris 640 2nd generation Thermal Camera that we have mounted on a DJI M600 drone. At present we are using the Wiris bespoke software "Coreplayer" to open and edit the images(video) of solar panels and would like to be able to edit the files in software that is not licenced by the manufacturer i.e. Flir Tools +. The file format that the data is download, is .wseq and we cannot find an editor that will open the files.Can these files be converted to a format that Flir or any other recommended software can open and process?We would appreciate any help with resolving our problem, a copy of the file can be forwarded if required.RegardsTigger

content: Hi TiggerWorkswell have based their software on the Tau2 SDK, so you'd need to get hold of that if you wanted to develop a program to output to a flir format.Alternatively, you could do something clever with the file and convert it to a flir tools readable version.

content: It is likely a proprietary format that would need reverse-engineering and file format construction knowledge to replicate or convert to something like FLIR's radiometric JPEGs.A sample file(posted publicly) would be a start.

content: @Chanc3,Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, the word "clever" would not be something that I would associate myself with when it comes to photography or image processing. So! how would I go about converting the files to a Flir tools readable version?@Spirit532Thank you for also replying, it does make sense that I post a file so that the clever people here can help reverse-engineer the file format. The only file that I have at present is a approx 1GB in size how would you suggest I share the file, how can I share it on Dropbox or google drive here on the forum?Thanks for the help

content: A short file should be better. Record a 1-2 second video, or shorter, if possible.

content: they offer their own SDK on the website. There is probably documentation for their format inside it.https://www.workswell-thermal-camera.com/wic-sdk-library/

content: Thanks, Vipitis,I have taken a look at the link you posted. Unfortunately, our camera is not supported in the Workswell WIC SDK library.

content: I didn't realize that their different cameras have different software platforms and therefore are limited with the offered SDK. Seems more work to me.Have you contacted them directly and asked? They seem to offer products for Flir software as well.
