AMG8833 THERMAL IMAGE SENSOR Abstract - Termites cause severe damage to the building and wooden structures if they go unnoticed in the initial stages as they live in colonies by feeding on the cellulose-rich materials, they can disrupt the entire structure. To detect the presence of these termites thermal imaging technique can be used. Thermal sensors are devices which are used for tracking the temperature changes in a space or a system. Thus, by tracking the temperature variation, the presence of termites can be detected. The expected output of the temperature variation can be visualized on a screen in the form of thermal image.
The AMG8833 thermal imaging sensor is a thermopile-type infrared sensor which detects the quantity of infrared ray by measuring the absolute temperatures in two-dimensional area of 8 x 8 (64 pixels). The sensor supports only I2C communication protocol. Table -1: AMG8833 Thermal Image Sensor Specifications

1.INTRODUCTION Termites are social insects belonging to the order of Isoptera. They are also known as “Silent Destroyers” as they pose significant threat to buildings and wooden structures. Termites live in colonies and feed on cellulose-rich materials, such as wood, paper and plant fibers, making them a considerable threat to wooden structures and other materials in buildings. Their presence in the initial stages of infestation remains hidden for extended periods before their presence becomes apparent. This hidden nature makes early detection challenging, allowing termites to cause substantial damage before the inmates are aware of the infestation.
