Application notes

Read the PDF The primary difference between Lepton and Lepton 3 is the improved resolution of the infrared sensor.

Lepton® with radiometry provides accurate non-contact temperature measurement data in every thermal image pixel. What is Radiometry? Lepton with radiometry simplifies the calibration and external processing required to convert the temperature-stabilized output of Lepton to actual scene temperature.  With minimal work, users are now able to get calibrated scene temperatures directly in the returned buffer. The […]

Using the PureThermal 1 for Lepton Development Lepton gives makers the ability to do a wide variety of things that aren’t possible without thermal cameras. Lepton transmits video data over the SPI protocol, which is ideal for embedded devices. Unfortunately, many platforms like laptops and desktops don’t expose a SPI bus, making it impossible to […]

This is a tutorial for implementing a basic people-finding algorithm with a FLIR Lepton camera using the open source computer vision library OpenCV.

This is a tutorial for building a heat-activated switch for a Wi-Fi outlet.

This is a tutorial for implementing a very basic adaptive linear automatic gain control (AGC) for the output of the FLIR Lepton camera.
