Achi: Ir6500 Software Fix

Partially. The IR6500 appears as a generic UVC device, so you can capture raw frames using OpenCV in Python. However, temperature calibration data (the radiometric table) is proprietary. For accurate temperatures, you must use the official ACHI IR6500 software’s SDK (available upon request).

Check the label on the back of your IR6500. Look for a “Rev” number (e.g., Rev 2.0 or Rev 3.1). The software differs between versions due to changes in the USB controller chip. achi ir6500 software
