AMG8833 IR Thermal Camera Breakout for RealSense
Hey everyone,
I’m working with the Intel RealSense world and thinking of adding a thermal camera module: the AMG8833 IR Thermal Camera Breakout. My idea is to pair it with a RealSense depth or RGB camera for a more complete perception setup (e.g., detect humans or heat sources in a room + depth mapping).
Since this forum is about RealSense + AI/vision, I figured you’d have useful insight. A few of my questions:
-
Does the AMG8833 output (8×8 thermal pixels) pack enough info to be useful alongside a higher-resolution RealSense camera, or is it too coarse?
-
How easy is the I²C interface with an SBC or the RealSense host? Any timing/latency issues when combining data streams?
If you’ve used the AMG8833 or a similar thermal module in a robotics/vision setup, I’d love to hear how you fused it, how you handled calibration & data rates, or if you found it too limited compared to “real” thermal cameras.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Mercio Jonova Whilst I do not have advice to share about AMG8333, have you seen the reply I posted to your previous question a few weeks ago about fusing depth and thermal data, please?
