Blackbody for Linux

Overview

Blackbody is a thermogram viewer designed for Linux users, with a version also available for Windows.

It focuses on viewing thermal images, especially those taken by FLIR cameras.

The software supports many FLIR camera models, such as FLIR C2, E4, E5, E6, E8, E8XT, E53, E75, P60 (PAL), T630SC, and T660.

It can open FLIR thermograms and single-band TIFF images, which are usually measured in degrees Celsius.

Users can control how the images are shown by adjusting render settings like thermal range and color palettes.

Blackbody supports multiple color options, including popular palettes such as inferno and turbo, and it can use embedded color palettes if they exist in the file.

The software also allows users to zoom in and out on images and check specific temperatures by moving the mouse over different areas.

Thermal data or images can be exported in different file formats with the chosen color settings.

Blackbody supports multiple languages, making it accessible for users worldwide.

This software is mainly for viewing thermograms and does not have features for editing or advanced analysis.
