The FLIR Lepton is thermal imaging sensor (http://www.flir.com/cores/content/?id=66257 http://www.flir.com/cores/content/?id=66257), and has been for a few years now. They really should have used a different name.
- kayoone 10y agoJust because you know another thing with the name doesn't make it illegal to use that name as it has a meaning anyway. There is also a CMS called Lepton. Pretty sure this will soon be the most popular product with this name anyway.
- fake-name 10y ago"Illegal"? Wut? It's not illegal, it's just dumb. Sure, you could implement your entire C++ application inside the `std` namespace, and I'm sure it'd work fine, but you /shouldn't/. If you're going to start a project, at least google the name first.
- djmips 10y agojust because it messed with your own personal namespace - you know that lepton is a particle and not a thermal camera right. Just because camera marketers got to you first. The real problem is polluting using useful words to market things in the first place.
