# Thermal

The Thermal node allows capturing both raw and colorized thermal frames from supported DepthAI devices equipped with a thermal
sensor ([OAK Thermal](https://docs.luxonis.com/hardware/products/OAK%2520Thermal.md)). The node supports dynamic runtime
configuration of imaging parameters, flat field correction (FFC), gain modes and ambient compensation.

This node outputs:

 * Raw temperature data per pixel as FP16 in °C
 * Visualization stream for live preview (YUV422i format)

## How to place it

#### Python

```python
pipeline = dai.Pipeline()
thermal = pipeline.create(dai.node.Thermal)
```

#### C++

```cpp
dai::Pipeline pipeline;
auto thermal = pipeline.create<dai::node::Thermal>();
```
