Take a thermal picture beside the colour one at every waypoint
...
A TarisIR mini (driver = taris) is a second camera source behind a
CompositeCameraSource: the colour camera is asked first, then the thermal one
for its newest frame, and both frames carry the colour frame's timestamp.
Counts are saved 16-bit lossless under TIR/, and the CamEvent gains cal,
missed, tmax, tmed, hotx and hoty (docs/mqtt-api.md). The SDK is declared in
IrbgrabApi.h and loaded with dlopen, so no SDK file is in the repository; a
missing or unreachable camera stays offline (Health cams_offline) while the
scan goes on. scripts/fgc-setcap gives the binary cap_net_raw after a build.
Built and tested in an Ubuntu 22.04 container (mock, MQTT, Vimba+MQTT,
534/534), plus a mock run with RGB/TIR pairs. Not yet run against the camera.
