![]() ![]() Arduino or Raspberry Pi, or to create a prototype using a universal board. It allows you to connect the camera to popular development boards, e.g. One could buy a small development board from sparkfun electronics.Lepton 2.5 thermal camera module with FLIR Lepton® Breakout Board v2.0 adapter. ![]() Lot of development boards are available for the sensor like this on digikey. MLX90640 is available at 36$ 260 from mouser. It is super easy to use as it has I2C interface, check more details in the datasheet. Sensor is very popular and a lot of documentation, examples are available how to use for any application.īest thing about this sensor is its low cost & accuracy which is +-1 Degree C. Melexis has 32×24 IR thermal sensor array chip which could be used for low resolution thermal imaging, monitoring. ![]() ![]() MLX90640 (Resolution, Accuracy, Interface, Price) Melexis manufactures special sensors for various applications and one of them is for thermal measurement like for non-contact thermal imaging, thermometers. I think the sensor price in retail should be in the same range as of the FLIR LEPTON I guess.įor more information, please check their products page. If you want to know the price information about Seek thermal image sensors you need to contact their sales team as they have not provided pricing online. Seek thermal has developed an easy to use development kit and it’s available on digikey at 499$. Low Gain Mode: Greater of +/- 10° C or 10% (typical).High gain Mode: Greater of +/- 5° C or 5% (typical).They are not very accurate.Īs mentioned in the technical specification: Please be careful about accuracy of these sensors. These thermal image sensors are not cheap, as show below, they costs around 175$ – 199$ per unit. They have two family of thermal sensors, one with 80 x 60 pixels and another one which is the latest family, has 160 x 120 pixels. The radiometric Lepton captures accurate, calibrated, and non-contact temperature data in every pixel of each image. Using focal plane arrays of either 160×120 or 80×60 active pixels, Lepton easily integrates into native mobile-devices and other electronics as an IR sensor or thermal imager. The FLIR Lepton® is a radiometric-capable LWIR camera solution that is smaller than a dime, fits inside a smartphone, and is one tenth the cost of traditional IR cameras. FLIR LEPTONįLIR is a company specialized in thermal cameras and now with the acquisition of point gray they have also entered the machine vision market with visible light imaging cameras, they have been the thermal image camera solutions company and a few years back they rolled out sensors for professionals so they can start developing custom thermal image sensor based solutions. The first question is are there sensors available in the market which could be used, how many thermal image sensors are you aware of which could be used? Let us see all of them one by one. So, I thought let me put the details together so that it is useful first level information for companies planning to create solutions around thermal image senors. The problem was no one had the idea about how the solution could be realized, if sensors are available, what is accuracy, what kind of development effort will be required, how soon we can develop such solution, what are the limitation, etc. ![]()
