You have to carefully look at [upir’s] Arduino thermal camera project because it intersperses pictures of what you expect an 8×8 sensor will produce with images produced by a much better camera.

This project uses a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3, an Arduino Uno, some servos, and a USB webcam. The end result is a camera mounted to the servo that’s controlled by the Arduino.

Yes,we learned that we can take mobile phone camera modules from almost all mobile phones to inteface them with our advanced hobby electronics projects just as with any other standard add-on modules.

Our own in-house Maker digs into the new Raspberry Pi Camera Module and tells us all about it and how to use it.
