Hi all, I am assisting someone working with thermal drones, and I would like to find an alternative analysis method for the radiometric data aside from "DJI Thermal Analysis Tool" because it is hacky at best and doesn't work on all machines.

I have been trying to use R for analysis but ThermStats and Thermimage packages do not extract the radiometric PNG data from drone image exif data, and the package devs do not seem interested in expanding to them either.

I have read in exif data from the exifr and exiftools packages but unaware on how I can extract the radiometric PNG from the resulting data frame. Does anyone have any insights on this, or is anyone working to develop and improve methods of thermal drone analyses? It's amazing that they have been around this long and the software capabilities are so far behind!
