content: Hello!We open sourced (MIT License, use however you'd like, but we aren't liable!) the Thermal Image Analysis software tool we built at our company a while back, you can view it (along with a few GIFs) here:https://github.com/detecttechnologies/Thermal-Image-Analysis.The underlying image parsing and extraction is maintained herehttps://github.com/detecttechnologies/thermal_baseas a python library, and this can be used to create your own softwares if you'd like!This is the current support matrix:Data FormatSample CamerasSupportFLIR RJPG with TIFF-format of thermal embeddingZenmuse XT-2✔️FLIR RJPG with PNG-format of thermal embeddingFLIR E-4, T640, T660✔️DJI-encoded thermal imageZenmuse H20-T✔️FLIR SEQ Thermal VideoZenmuse XT-2✔️FLIR CSQ Thermal VideoZenmuse XT-2❌Seek HIR Format ImagesSeek Shot❌Happy to take any feedback, and hope it helps! We're open to contributions. We're looking to increase the range of supported cameras (like the Seek HIR format e.g., recently brought to our attention in an Issue on the github repo)

content: Thanks for open sourcing your work!Since you mention that you are looking to increase the number of camera formats, I'll throw in a request to support the Therm-App TH radiometric camera. If you look at posthttps://www.eevblog.com/forum/thermal-imaging/freeware-software-for-thermal-analysis-thermovision_joec/msg3625907/#msg3625907, I've described the format and included a zip file that contains a sample image with data in IRT Cronista format.Cheers,John

content: This tool requires another tool to install, and that tool requires another tool to install, and all of it require base python package to install, too much hassle.....If i may, you should document the specific versions of python this tool works with. Just saying Python 3+ won't cut it, python is shitty when it comes to backward compatibility. There will come python version update that will break your program. GARANTEED.

content: Valid point, might be worth packaging it up using Pyinstaller or something of that sortBut on the note that Python would make it backward incompatible - python packaging has come a long way since 2015, you can lock in all dependencies now to ensure future-proof-ness by mentioning specific versions of dependenciesE.g.https://github.com/detecttechnologies/Thermal-Image-Analysis/blob/master/requirements.txt

content: This looks like good news, but unfortunately anything that requires installation under Linux (especially with dependencies as described) is way beyond many people's hassle-alarm point. I know that there are many people here that will take it in their stride but there are a lot more for whom *ux is a closed volume and we've got too used to one-click installs in Windows, Android, IoS ... well, virtually every other platform.I'd love to be able to have a play with this but I know full well that the install is way beyond my competence level. I'd also love to see if it could be extended to the other Therm-App cameras (including the 640x480 Pro) - I have, or can generate, all the files you could want for two regular Therm-App and one Pro. Perhaps the community here can help?I freely admit to having an extremely negative view of Linux, mainly because I've had consistently bad experiences when trying to get my hands dirty with it (up to and including trashing an irreplaceable machine with a 'live disk' that was supposed to run entirely off the CD but instead decided to wipe the file system and install itself on the HDD because that was its default UNLESS you intervened - and I was called away before this little nugget of info appeared on the screen).

content: Hello fellow researchers! I am working on a study with medical thermography and need some help, if possible. I need to merge 4 thermal images for simultaneous analysis. I was told that in the past there was FLIR Builder, but that it is no longer available today. We don't have many financial resources and so I would like to know if anyone has this software that could share with us. As I said, we don't have many resources, but we can try to pay for the software. Thank you all

content: Hi @termodiagnoseWere you able to try this software out? Were there any issues you faced?It does not support all FLIR cameras, however, you can give it a shot.

content: do this tool produce time plot of video thermal recording ?Look at my request herehttps://www.eevblog.com/forum/thermal-imaging/flir-one-pro-ios-usb-c-software-thermal-time-plot/msg5872432/#msg5872432
