content: Interesting question but I have to say no - seems like they do not have/give away a 64bit Version of the Windows binaries... I have two different version of the SDK (from 2017 and 2018) with different APIs but both are x86 windows only. But why not compile x86 only - usually there is no serious reason for x64 unless you have some dependency that is x64 only. Altough I have to admit that I also tend to compile everything to x64 if possible.Probably one more 'reason' (or excuse?) for me to go the WinUSB/LibUSB way rather then with the SDK.

content: It will most likely be due to the mounting method…. Magnets. The later models likely have a set of small magnets or a ferrous metal plate installed in the face of the camera that marry up to magnets in the close-up adapter to hold it in place. There is no reason for the optics to be incompatible. Do compare images of your camera with the latest model to ensure the shape of the area around the lens has not been changed.Fraser

Misleading buyers on thermal camera resolution - BSIDE SH7 - Page 1
Forum section: electronics / general

author: Fraser
author_rank: Super Contributor
timestamp: June 06, 2025, 09:13:55 pm
content: I have just seen an advert on Aliexpress for the BSIDE SH7 thermal camera multimeter combination. I was suspicious of the claimed spaecification as the asking price was too low and a 1:1 aspect ratio was shown for the thermal image. I immediately suspected that the SH7 contains a 96x96 pixel microbolometer that is upscaled to the claimed 320x320 pixel resolution displayed on the LCD display.A close look at the various statements and specifications of the SH7 showed multiple claims that the unit had a 320x320 pixel thermal imaging capability and one statement suggested that the sensor is 320x320 pixels. The mistake that this manufacturer made was to provide the FOV and resultant IFOV. The FOV is 50 degrees and the IFOV is 8.89mrads. The maths of that combination provides a pixel count of 96 and not 320 ! These claims of 320x320 thermal resolution are very misleading and designed to deceive the buyer. Even the images shown on the screen of the SH7 look to be fake.Please be careful when buying budget thermal cameras or equipment containing thermal cameras. If they appear to be a bargain price, look very carefully at the description text and specifications and try to determine whether the claimed thermal resolution is true or not. If a microbolometer thermal camera has a 1:1 aspect ratio, be very suspicious if the resolution is claimed to be higher than 96x96 pixels. There is a 96x96 pixel core available for budget thermal cameras and it is finding its way into a lot of low end equipment. HikMicro offer thermal cameras that use this microbolometer BUT they are very honest about the true resolution and the fact that they upscale the image before display. BSIDE appear to be content with deceiving potential buyers when it comes to their equipments thermal imaging resolution. Not a company I would want to do business with and there are many others doing similarly in the budget thermal camera marketplace. Do be on your guard.Fraser

That has been increased to 320x320 pixels in the latest adverts. This company has no shame !Fraser

content: Please be aware that the camera is only half the story. You need to be able to interpret what the thermal camera shows you or else you will end up chasing your tail and wasting your time. Building thermography can be a complex topic and training is normally required to be competent. That said, a keen person can learn how to carry out a building thermal survey through research and reading text books. It is then a case of gaining field experience to put theory into practice. You need to be able to image in your mind why the camera may be showing you a warm or cold area, in order to determine whether it is truly a concern and how it may be rectified. Knowledge of building structures and construction techniques helps with the survey process. This is what you are paying for when engaging a thermographer for a building surveyI am not such a surveyor but a long term user of the technology.If wishing to carry out commercial building survey work, you may be required to complete some formal training and gain certification in order for you surveys to be considered valid. Such training and certification is not cheap.With all that said, if you still wish to buy your own thermal imaging camera for building surveys, you will need to tell us more about your intentions. Is it for your own home and just casual checks for interest, or are you thinking of carrying out surveys for other people on a commercial basis ? A camera bought for commercial use will pay for itself and so a better model may be justified. For personal use and interest only, there are many affordable thermal cameras available now. Many affordable units will have 256x192 real pixels which is enough for basic building survey work. Commercial building surveyors will often use 320x240 pixel thermal cameras, or higher resolution if justified. They may also have additional lenses available for use in confined spaces and long distance observation (of roof from the ground etc).Tell us more and it will narrow down the suggestions made. Do you have a budget in mind ?Fraser

timestamp: April 26, 2025, 01:28:36 pm
content: It sounds impossible, but I just successfully did it using a Seek lens (cheap and easy to get, good wide FOV).Steps:1. Export existing calibration data from your Boson.a. Connect your Boson to PC controller software.b. Start lens calibration procedure, then abort when it ask for blackbody.c. The original calibration file is now at C:\temp\bosonxxx\xxx.tiff2. Use a picture editing software you like (eg. GIMP), to stretch or squeeze the histogram depending on your need, linearly.3. Save the file as a 16-bit integer TIFF file, without any additional data (EXIF/layers, etc).4. Use a Hex editor, replace the start and end of file using attached demo TIFFs. I made them easy to recognize, by making all pixel data "FF" (white).5. A correct file should have the same size as my demo TIFFs.6. Upload your finished file to camera using the same controller software.7. Check live view results, if not perfect, repeat previous steps until satisfied.Notes: If GUI crashes during uploading, it means your file is rejected, carefully check step 4.Or try to upload my demo file directly, if still fails, you don't have compatible GUI and camera version.You can skip step 1, and instead using calibration files on this forum, or "archive.org".Welcome to report back for your success or problem.

author: Fraser
author_rank: Super Contributor
timestamp: April 25, 2025, 03:53:10 pm
content: These cameras are really intended to be used in static deployments, connected to a network, hence GigE as the interface. Even if you were to fit an analogue output feature board, you would still need to send commands to the camera for the purposes of control and you would have an analogue video output that is limited to the basic NTSC TV standard, which is not exactly great quality when using a VGA resolution camera.These cameras may also require software running on a host computer to get the best from them. Image capture may only be possible via the host computer and image analogue capture can leave much to be desired in terms of image quality.‘Box’ cameras are great but many are not designed to operate without a host, so doing so limits their versatility.Fraser

author: Fraser
author_rank: Super Contributor
timestamp: April 07, 2025, 07:58:43 pm
content: What camera are you using ?To avoid image vignetting the 20mm diameter lens is the safest option. You need to consider the cameras field of view and how far away from the cameras lens the close-up lens will be mounted. The laser focus lenses are not intended to be used with thermal Cameras so some image distortion is to be expected but is not normally an issue during use. By using a larger diameter close-up lens than the minimum needed you use mainly the centre of it where image quality is likely at its best.Fraser

I have the same thing, and I wish if you can elaborate more on how you transferred the file to the device.After disassembling the device, and connecting it to your PC via USB to serial, did you just uploaded the 3.9G bytes bin file to the device or you had to add some libraries as well?

content: To add on Bill's comment:A microbolometer is a resistor whose resistance is changing with temperature. Temperature change due to infrared flux among other things.Problem is that the "among other things" part can be quite large.So a scheme to remove it is to have "blind" microbolometers: they are only sensitive to the "among other things" part.Then it becomes easy to subtract the signal from a blind pixel from the signal of a normal pixel: this way you only keep the part due to the infrared flux and you can amplify only it.Another reason is uniformity.You add dummy structures so that the manufacturing process it similar around the region of interest.This way the useful pixels at the edge of the sensor are surrounded by an environment similar to what pixels in the center of the sensor experience.

Been looking for this software before that as well but it'd be super nice if I could find a copy of it from someone who might have it.The eval board that I'm aware that it came with was for the CYV15G0101 transceiver.

content: Yes, it is weird when you first image a person moving around on the other side of a piece of glass in the thermal domain. We become accustomed to the behaviour of LWIR cameras and the MWIR cameras suddenly show us more than we were expecting to seeMy FLIR SC4000 is a special version that covers part of the SWIR spectrum as well as MWIR (1.5um to 5um). That camera can see very clearly through glass and ceramic. To use an “extended spectrum” camera like mine, it also needs a wideband lens, which it came with in my case. I bought some standard FLIR/Janos MWIR lenses for the SC4000 in case I want to limit its SWIR coverage a little.Fraser

The sensor was operated at -70 Celsius using the Peltier stack. They were miniature devices but still quite power hungry.I attach some pictures of the Peltier cooled SPRITE thermal sensor module from an AGEMA Thermovision 470 camera. The SPRITE sensor is mounted on top of a miniature Peltier module cooling stack and operated within a vacuum. The Peltier module stack required the use of a large heatsink and forced air cooling.Fraser
