OAK-T: How to use the Thermal sensor in a python script

blank

We've recently received an OAK-T and tried it out with the examples from the "depthai-python" repository.

To other people struggling with this camera: Right now, the newest version of depthai (>2.29.0.0) and has to be manually installed, the install_requirements.py script in the examples folder will install an outdated one.

Color- and mono cameras seem to work with the examples, but I have no idea how to query the thermal sensor. For the other cameras, the pipelines are created with

camRgb = pipeline.create(dai.node.ColorCamera)

and

camMono = pipeline.create(dai.node.MonoCamera)

respectively, but the API shows no corresponding object for the thermal camera. Is this even implemented yet, and, if yes, could someone provide an example, or at least give me the name of the corresponding camera object.

CAM_E is thermal. https://docs.luxonis.com/software/depthai/examples/thermal_align/ is an example using thermal camera. But yes, we'll add a simpler script to get the camera running.

Thanks,

Thanks.

By the way, this example asks for thermal and RGB cam to be calibrated, probably to account for the parallax between the cameras, but the page doesn't seem to mention this. Sorry that I cannot provide the exact message as I don't have the camera here right now. If it's important, I can reproduce it on the next occasion.

Anyway, the information is sufficient so I can build my own tests.
