AMG8833 thermal imaging camera sensor is an 8x8 infrared thermal sensor array. When connected to your microcontroller (or Raspberry Pi), it will return a set of 64 separate infrared temperature readings via I2C. This is like those fancy thermal cameras, but they are compact and simple, and easy to integrate. AMG8833 is next-generation 8x8 thermal infrared sensor and provides higher performance than previous AMG8831. The sensor only supports I2C and has a configurable interrupt pin that can be triggered when any single pixel is above or below the threshold you set.
The temperature measurement range of the AMG8833 infrared thermal imager sensor is 0°C to 80°C(32 °F to 176 °F)
Power supply: 3-5V, and the accuracy is -2.5°C(4.5 °F). It can detect humans from distances as far as 7 meters (23) feet. The maximum frame rate is 10Hz, which is very suitable for creating your own body detector or mini thermal imager. We use this breakthrough code on Arduino or compatible (sensors communicate through I2C) or Raspberry Pi using Python. On Pi, with the help of image processing from SciPy python library, we can insert 8x8 grid and get some very good results.
