This IR Positioning Camera is a small-form device that can track 4 IR objects simultaneously. It also functions as a flame sensor, detecting heat sources and flame positions. Applications include robot navigation (tracking IR transmitters), light barriers, and object direction determination. Easy to install/connect: only 4 wires (2 for power, 2 for I2C).
1. Example Code for Arduino-IR Object Tracking
Once the camera detects a signal, it will display its coordinates on the first position. And others will be empty(returns 1023,1023). If the camera detects several objects, it will arrange them according to the detecting order. If one of them is out of the view, that position will be empty(return 1023,1023). It can only support tracking 4 objects at the same time.
2. Example Code for Processing-IR Blob Visualization
This code should show one colored blob for each detected IR source (max four) at the relative position to the camera.
FAQ
Can I get a similar sensor with greater resolution and field of view? I am expecting the specifications of good quality web-cam. If not can you tell me where I can buy ?
Thank you.
I want to track the position of stream of hot plastic (molten) about 175C or 350F, will this unit respond to such temperatures? Also, I am new to I2C protocol, can you provide detailed information on data addressing to this unit?
Hi! Can this camera work with Arduino Due (3.3V signal levels)?
HI, we haven't tested it on DUE, It is better to add a resistor between IIC interface.
