Inspect thermograms
About
Blackbody is a viewer for FLIR, Fluke, HTI, and IRG thermograms and other thermal images. Explore temperatures under the cursor, render to different palettes and ranges, overlay the visible-light photo, and inspect embedded measurements and camera metadata.
Blackbody reads thermograms from many FLIR cameras, including the visible-light photo, and also opens Fluke thermograms from cameras such as the Ti400, Ti401p, TiS75+, and Ti25, HTI / ToolTop thermograms, and IRG thermograms such as the Topdon TC004. Plain thermal data can be imported and exported as single-band TIFFs or 16-bit PNGs.
Features:
- Inspect the temperature under the cursor, in celsius, fahrenheit, or kelvin
- View embedded measurements: spots, lines, and areas
- Overlay view (Picture-in-Picture or MSX) combining thermal and visible images
- Render to the camera's embedded palette or many built-in ones, including inferno and turbo
- Adjust the temperature range to make details stand out
- Metadata panel with camera info and GPS location, openable in a map
- Export renders to PNG and thermal data to TIFF or 16-bit PNG
- Zoom, pan, and browse through a folder of thermograms
- Translated to multiple languages
