Crate flyr

Flyr is a library for extracting thermal data from FLIR images written fully in Rust. Files can be read with a single function call returning a 2D array with the temperatures in Kelvin.

Flyr’s abilities are showcased by Blackbody, a thermogram viewer for Linux. Flyr itself is not tied to a specific OS. The project also has a sibling project in flyr-py, which is Flyr fully written in Python.

Installation

This library is available on crates.io. Install by adding flyr = "0.4.0" to your Cargo.toml. The source code can be found in its repository.

Usage

Call try_parse_flir on a filepath to extract the thermal data:

use flyr::try_parse_flir;

fn main() {
   // Return value is of type Result<Array<f32, Ix2> std::io::Error>
    let file_path = Path::new("/home/user/FLIR0923.jpg");
    let r_kelvin = try_parse_flir(file_path);
}

The array structure is provided by https://crates.io/crates/ndarray.
