Jul 11, 2024 · The MLX90640 infrared thermal camera was introduced as a tool for visualizing the spatial distribution of temperatures across 768 (24×32) pixels. Using a Raspberry Pi, the MLX90640, and Python, a real-time temperature map was developed that operates at roughly 3-8 frames per second.

Mar 25, 2021 · You can build your own thermal camera at home for around $100 with these detailed build and software instructions.

Jul 22, 2016 · Image resolution is 1440x1080, which is 9x scaled from the builtin 160x120 thermal camera. In addition to scaling, there is some overlay feature for his 12MP normal camera. One can select how much overlay of the normal camera (0%..100%) to see over the scaled IR frame.

Jun 10, 2020 · Along with a Raspberry Pi computer, the MLX90640 will be used to map and record fairly high-resolution temeperature maps. Using Python, we will be able to push the RPI to its limits by interpolating the MLX90640 to create a 3 frame-per-second (fps) thermal camera at 240x320 pixel resolution.

Mar 5, 2021 · The magic of the MLX90640 Thermal Camera is that for the same price the resolution jumps to 24×32, giving each frame 768 different temperature readings. Add a bit of interpolation and image enlargement and the end result gets the job done nicely.

This page contains both the background and documentation for the PyPi package pithermalcam, which connects an MLX90640 thermal camera to a Raspberry Pi. The package is set up for quick and easy install or for cloning for more advanced users to play/tweak/develop further.

Jan 1, 2025 · This project showcases how to build a high-resolution DIY Thermal Imaging Camera using the MLX90640 sensor and a Raspberry Pi. This setup utilizes the MLX90640’s 32×24 array of 768 thermal sensors, significantly surpassing the …

In this tutorial, we’ll guide you on how to use the MLX90640 thermal imaging camera with Raspberry Pi to detect heat and measure temperature. Just Connect the MLX90640 IR thermal camera to your Raspberry Pi via the I2C interface, and it’ll …

Apr 23, 2024 · Building a thermal camera using the Raspberry Pi and the AMG8833 thermal image array temperature sensor is a fun and affordable project that can be done by anyone with basic electronic skills.

Jul 24, 2021 · As the resolution of the MLX90640 is low, I decided to use a standard Pi camera with a much higher resolution, and overlay the thermal camera on top. To do this, I connected both cameras to a Raspberry Pi 4 and used Python and OpenCV to capture images from both and overlay them on each other, before displaying them.
