Hi, I am looking for suggestions for easy-to-handle thermal cameras. The camera should be capable of capturing thermal as well as RGB images of the subject. Also, the user should be able to extract pixel-wise temperature values from the thermal images captured by the camera.
Hello Shreyas,
The best thermal camera depends on your application. If the temperature of your object moves (in space or in time dimension), if you need to be very precise in time (few milliseconds or even microseconds) or if you need to use a filter in order to block the energy in some part of the IR spectrum, then you will need a cooled camera.
If this is not the case, then you may use a bolometer camera.
For the cooled cameras, you may look for the A and X camera series from Teledyne FLIR. You will not have the RGB images by the way.

For the bolometer cameras, you can take a look at the handheld cameras and fixed cameras. Teledyne FLIR also has those equipment with RGB camera integrated.

The cameras are compatible with the software Research Studio, but you might be interested in developing your own application using the available SDKs, so you can manipulate the data in your code:
