SEEK thermal compact camera driver supporting the thermal compact and thermal compact pro

libseek-thermal

Description

libseek-thermal is a user space driver for the SEEK thermal camera series built on libusb and libopencv.

Supported cameras:

• Seek Thermal compact
• Seek Thermal compact pro

Credits

The code is based on ideas from the following repo's:

• https://github.com/BjornVT/Masterproef.git
• https://github.com/zougloub/libseek

The added value of this library is the support for the compact pro.

Compilation

The library depends on libusb-1.0 and opencv (tested with opencv 3.2). To compile just type 'make' in the root directory. To get debug verbosity, build with 'make DEBUG=1'.

Running code samples

You need to add a udev rule to be able to run the program as non root user:

Udev rule:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="289D", ATTRS{idProduct}=="XXXX", MODE="0666", GROUP="users"

Replace 'XXXX' with:

• 0010: Seek Thermal Compact
• 0011: Seek Thermal Compact Pro

or manually chmod the device file after plugging the usb cable:

sudo chmod 666 /dev/bus/usb/00x/00x

with '00x' the usb bus found with the lsusb command

Run the examples:

./bin/test      # Thermal Compact
./bin/test_pro  # Thermal Compact Pro
