Using Edge Impulse with commercial thermal camera, e.g. Seek Thermal Camera

Help
#1

Hi,

I have seen this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_aw-FLJpig&ab_channel=serj7h and wondered if we could do the image classification using
Edge Impulse on such thermal camera and how can we deploy it on any TinyML supported board/smartphone. Any idea? Thx!

Hi @saraaun,

As this is a USB camera, you could use the Edge Impulse Linux SDK with a Raspberry Pi: https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/docs/edge-impulse-for-linux
Most USB webcams work out of the box.

You could also use low resolution thermal cameras with microcontrollers such as this one: https://www.hackster.io/naveenbskumar/intruder-detection-using-ultra-low-powered-thermal-vision-24ed45

Just to add, we have commercial customers doing classification using thermal cameras today.
