Thermal-imaging camera is affordable

At the heart of the AXT100 thermal-imaging camera is a 32 x 31 uncooled thermopile focal-plane array. The processing capabilities of the camera are made possible through a Blackfin DSP, built by Analog Devices. On-board image processing interpolates and smoothes the raw image to full 256 x 248-pixel resolution. Advanced signal processing allows for features such as linear or logarithmic scaling, image storage, and false color. Total digital control is accomplished through the 10/100 Ethernet port, affecting color maps, atmospheric correction, scaling, sampling rate, and more. It is priced at less than $5000.
