DIY Thermal Fever Detector with MLX90640 & OpenCV on Raspberry Pi

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
In this project, we will build a Thermal Fever Detector with MLX90640 32X24 Thermal Image Array IR Camera using the OpenCV Python Code on the Raspberry Pi System. In a previous project, we build a DIY Thermal Imaging Camera using the MLX90640 & Raspberry Pi 4. Later we realized, we could build a fever detection system as well.
The project uses MLX90640 Thermal Camera to detect and visualize thermal hotspots that exceed a specified temperature threshold, suggesting a fever. The Raspberry Pi processes the thermal image data using OpenCV, and applies a color map for visualization. Then it continuously monitors and displays the highest temperatures and conditions (“Normal” or “Fever Detected“) in a graphical user interface.
During the time of COVID, Thermal Cameras were used for Fever Detection & Identifying possible COVID patients. When Raspberry Pi & OpenCV are integrated into a fever detection system, the MLX90640 can scan multiple individuals simultaneously from a safe distance, identifying those with elevated body temperatures that may indicate a fever. This application is particularly useful in public spaces such as airports, hospitals, and schools, where rapid, mass screening is essential for health monitoring and disease prevention.

I had ordered mlx90640 but in the back of the camera it is written asa mlx9064x is this same?

[@R_Squared933]

Is 2Hz the maximum refresh rate of the camera, or is this a limitation of the Raspberry Pi? Also, as @VlaProPro asked? Could this work on an ESP32Cam, or other microcontrollers?
Thank you in advance.

[@HowtoElectronics]

The maximum refresh rate MLX90640 can offer is 64Hz. But due to the I2C speed of Raspberry Pi and other hardware limitations, we can hardly get 2-4Hz refresh rate.
And yes it work well with ESP32 Module. I will make a video on that soon.

Класс! А можно такое на esp32 cam?
