add infrared camera for object detection

[tungp55]

Thank you for your wonderful application.
Currently, people are using both infrared and RGB images obtained from UAV cameras for object detection. Therefore, I am wondering if it is possible to add an infrared camera to the UAV and use both sources to detect objects in the images.
I hope you can help me or provide guidance on how to achieve this. Thank you very much.

@tungp55 Hello, I don't have much knowledge in the infrared realm, but I think you can either use this topic, or change the OakD-Lite to other cameras (maybe realsense D435). After that, you can either change the yolov8 object detection to another model, or modify some parts of yolov8 so it will be able to work with infrared data, check here and here.
