MSDK5 Downloading Thermal image

Hello,

When a drone has the thermal camera in use and the operator takes a photo, is a JPEG image (that looks similar to the video stream? i.e. black and white image showing hot spots) saved on the SD card? 

If not, what format is the thermal image stored in and how can it be converted to a JPEG when using the MSDK5 if that is possible?

Thanks for any help or direction.

  What camera are you using? Most cameras support generating JPEG photos.

  I think it was the Matrice M30T that was used but I don't have regular access to it. But if it generates JPEG thermal imaging photos along with the standard thermal imaging format, that's great.

  M30T can take thermal imaging photos, and it only supports generating thermal imaging photos in JPEG format. I would like to know more about the standard infrared photo format you mentioned. What does it refer to exactly?

  Thanks for clarifying. I see. I'm new to thermal imaging and have only read that there are certain formats which store both the image data and temperature information data in proprietary formats like R-JPG, SRF and ERI but I don't know anything beyond that. Is the associated temperature data stored in the JPEG file produced by the M30T camera?
  
  Thanks,
  Andrew.

  I understand what you mean, thank you for explaining. M30T also stores infrared information in the R-JEPG format. However, when you view photos on the SD card, you can clearly see that the file extension of the photos is jpg or jpeg.
