Thermal Imaging/Night Vision

So it seems like there are a few thermal imagers out there that made it through, so for the sake of completeness (and to eliminate the competition :D) I finished up my thermal imaging code...Here's a short video showing thermal/night vision:

To produce the final image, temperature readings are normalized, then converted to a rainbow (using a lookup table) and then scaled up (using bilinear interpolation) and finally, the thermal image is alpha blended into an RGB image and sent to the LCD...The result looks something like this:

Checkout this project. you should work on adding the Flir Lepton Camera next.

Very interesting project. Can you show more photos? Such as a monitor or screen. How to eliminate thermal noise? Or you install a large temperature difference? I did IR-Blue to develop MarDaSo. I am interested in this issue.

I notice there's a bit of misalignment, likely the result of parallax between the two cameras. Do you think it would be possible (with the thermal image being so blurry and in a different spectrum) to auto-correlate the images and recover some depth information (or at least align them)?

Are you sure? yes | no

The active sensor area is on the right of the bga chip, not centered, I just discovered this a while ago after making the shield, see the top sensor:

So the IR sensor needs to be shifted a few mils, this might be enough to align them.

Are you sure? yes | no

Competition feels flattered that you're targeting them :))
Now on a more serious tone, I'm following your project and really like your OpenMV concept and implementation. Good job! :)

Are you sure? yes | no
