Adafruit showcases the Raspberry Pi cam combined with the MLX90640 IR camera to create a budget fusion thermal camera. Featuring solderless components, this build is also beginner-friendly.
Waveshare has launched an ESP32-S3-based thermal imaging camera module with 80x62 resolution, offering both 45° and 90° wide angle versions. The module includes a USB-C port, expansion pads, and supports WiFi and Bluetooth LE.
The paper presents near-infrared interferometric imaging of the dust-enshrouded red supergiant WOH G64 located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, revealing elongated compact emission and a significant change in the near-infrared spectrum suggesting the formation of hot new dust close to the star.
"Here, infrared imaging is demonstrated by nonlinear up-conversion to the visible in an ultra-compact, high-quality-factor lithium niobate resonant metasurface. Images with high conversion efficiency and resolution quality are obtained despite the strong nonlocality of the metasurface. The possibility of edge-detection image processing augmented with direct up-conversion imaging for advanced night vision applications is further shown."
