FLIR FFF Tags

Information extracted from FLIR FFF images and the FLIR APP1 segment of JPEG images. These tags may also be extracted from the first frame of an FLIR SEQ file.

FLIR Header Tags

Tags extracted from the FLIR FFF/AFF header.

FLIR RawData Tags

The thermal image data may be stored either as raw data, or in PNG format. If stored as raw data, ExifTool adds a TIFF header to allow the data to be viewed as a TIFF image. If stored in PNG format, the PNG image is extracted as-is. Note that most FLIR cameras using the PNG format seem to write the 16-bit raw image data in the wrong byte order.
