pyFlir

Pure-Python driver for FLIR thermal cameras over GigE Vision. No vendor SDK required: pyFlir speaks the GVCP and GVSP protocols directly over UDP, on top of pyGigEVision.

Quickstart

from pyflir import Camera

with Camera() as cam:
    cam.load_xml("docs/camera_<serial>.xml")   # cached after first download_xml()
    cam.frame_rate  = 30.0
    cam.exposure_ms = 8.0
    frame = cam.grab()   # numpy (H, W) uint16, metadata rows stripped
