Duo R Support #91

Closed mcherep closed 1 year ago

mcherep commented 1 year ago

I'm sorry if I'm missing something obvious. The documentation says that the library has been tested on FLIR Duo Pro R, but I can't find any examples. I only need to grab an image and return the average temperature.

The Duo doesn't support live streaming over USB, but Flirpy can process the saved SEQ files. This is a limit of the camera unfortunately. It can stream video over HDMI/S-Video but not radiometric images, at least this was the case when flirpy was originally written and don't think things have changed.

Thanks for replying so quickly, it's great (and sad) to know.

If you just need to grab an image, then either the Lepton or Boson-R would do, depending on whether you need the resolution (or if you also need an RGB image, but that can be a lot cheaper to add on). The cost of a radiometric boson and good machine vision camera should be quite a bit less than a Duo (if you don't have the camera yet).

There's also the Hadron, but integration is probably trickier and the dev kits to interface with something like a Jetson Nano are very expensive

Thank you so much! I have some cameras around, so I'll try to go with these.
