Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
So far you have to convert thermal images (from a FLIR camera) to csv format in order to read in the actual temperature information saved in the image.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice to have the option in readimage() for a thermal mode that can easily read in the thermal data.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently I am using the flir_convert function in plantcv-extras to convert thermal images to csv files. This adds another step to the pipeline and creates an additional file that needs to be stored for each image. Adding it to readimage would simplify this process and avoid potential dependency conflicts or exiftool issues.
