So im building a firefighting robot and it features a pan and tilt mechanism to track flames in all direction I am currently using 5 ir flame sensors but it cant satisfy what I want so I will buy an amg8833 thermal camera for my flame detection system, so Im asking if it is possible to program it to detect a fire in a specific direction? can it locate where in the 8x8 is the fire given a fire threshold? if possible how?
The AMG8833 is a crude camera, with 64 pixel images.
As with any other camera, image processing techniques are the general approach to do what you want.
The place to start is to take some 8x8 pictures of what you want to detect, and figure out how to derive the quantities of interest from them.
I just need to locate each pixel and know if its up down left right or in the middle can I do that? if yes how?
Each pixel in the image array is uniquely identified and located by the array indices.
In C/C++, for an 8x8 2D image array named "pic", the center pixel is pic[3][3].
It would be a good idea to go over some of these very basic programming and image processing concepts, as forum members probably won't write your code for you, for free.
