Raspberry Pi 5 Thermal Segmentation: Open-source edge software with a GUI for live acquisition and multithreshold image analysis

This repository contains the source code, build files, camera-adapter scripts, documentation, bill of materials, and selected example outputs for an open-source Raspberry Pi 5-based edge platform for live acquisition thermal image acquisition and multithreshold segmentation. The platform integrates a Waveshare Thermal Camera HAT (B) / MI48 thermal camera with a Python SPI/I2C acquisition adapter and a C++17/OpenCV segmentation engine. Captured frames can be processed using seven metaheuristic optimizers: DE, DESSA, SDE, GWO, PSO, CSA, and FA.
