About

Thermal CamD

This experimental app uses two far-infrared cameras to create stereoscopic images, measure provisional distances, and detect provisional temperatures. It requires specialized parts and knowledge, making it unsuitable for general users. The app is designed for iPhone and M1 Mac, with VR goggle use in mind.

Highlights
  • Stereoscopic image creation
  • Provisional distance measurement
  • Provisional temperature detection
  • Requires specialized hardware
  • Designed for VR goggles
  • iPhone and M1 Mac compatible

◆2つの遠赤外線カメラを使って立体画像と暫定距離、暫定温度が確認できる実験的なアプリです。 ◆画素が160x120しかない超小型遠赤外線カメラの可能性に挑戦しています。 ◆専用部品と、ある程度の知識が必要であることから一般向けではありません。カメラは部品の調達方法や作成方法などすべて公開していますので、次のURLを参考にしてご自身の責任でのご用意をお願いします。 kansaidenki.biz/2022/06/08/ステレオサーマルカムの作り方 https://takesan.hatenablog.jp/entry/2022/06/17/205710 ◆Thermal Cam DはVRゴーグルなどの使用を想定していますのでアプリはiPhone専用で、M1 Macでも動作可能です。 ◆距離測定中はCPUの稼働率が高くなります、iPhoneのケースを外したり風に当てるなど冷却対策を行なってください。 ◆測定値は暫定なので医療及び精密な距離測定には利用できないことにご注意ください。 --テザリング機能を使うため、バッテリーを大きく消費します。 -- iPhoneのBluetoothとGPSをONにすると、画像が表示できない場合があります。 -- 付近のエアコンや電子レンジなどが稼働していると、著しく動きが鈍くなります。 -- WiFi中継点や携帯端末が多い環境では、著しく動画の動きが遅くなる場合があります。 —iOS 15.0以上、iPhone8~13 Pro MaxまでのiPhoneで動作可能です。 ################################################# ◆ It is an experimental application that allows you to check a stereoscopic image, a provisional distance, and a provisional temperature using two far-infrared cameras. ◆ We are challenging the possibility of an ultra-compact far-infrared camera with only 160x120 pixels. ◆ It is for an experimental purpose only because it requires special parts and some knowledge. Flir Lepton is available, including how to procure and make parts, so please refer to the following URL and prepare it at your own risk. https://kansaidenki.biz/2022/06/08/ステレオカメラの作り方 https://takesan.hatenablog.jp/entry/2022/06/17/205710 ◆ Thermal Cam D is required VR goggles, so the app is for iPhone only. It can also work on M1 Mac. ◆ The CPU operating rate will be high during distance measurement, so iPhone need to be cooling such as removing the iPhone case or exposing it to the wind. ◆ Please note that the measured values are provisional and cannot be used for medical or precise distance measurement. --Because it uses the tethering function, it consumes a lot of battery. --If you turn on Bluetooth and GPS on your iPhone or iPad, you may not be able to see the images. --If the air conditioner or microwave oven in the vicinity is operating, the frame rate will be significantly slowed down. --In an environment with many WiFi relay points and mobile terminals, the video may slow down significantly. —It can be operated on iPhones with iOS 15.0 or higher and iPhone8 ~ 13 Pro Max.
