Abstract: A thermal imaging system includes a thermal imaging sensor configured to capture thermal images of assets in an environment, a non-thermal imaging sensor coupled to the thermal sensor and being configured to capture non-thermal images of the assets, an image alignment system, an image correction system, and a controller configured to control operation of the thermal and non-thermal imaging sensors, the image alignment system, and the image correction system. The controller is configured to determine, using the image correction system, that data representative of a reflective surface is present in a present thermal view of a particular asset, cause the thermal and non-thermal imaging sensors to capture pose-corrected images, generate pose corrected thermal and non-thermal images, with at least one having corrected thermal data corresponding to a location of the reflective surface, and associate the corrected thermal data with the at least one reflective surface.
Abstract: A thermal imaging system includes a thermal imaging sensor configured to capture thermal images of assets in an environment, a non-thermal imaging sensor coupled to the thermal sensor and being configured to capture non-thermal images of the assets, an image alignment system configured to adjust an orientation of a present thermal view of the particular asset and a present non-thermal view of the particular asset, a controller configured to control operation of the thermal imaging sensor, the non-thermal imaging sensor, and the image alignment system, and a remote computing device having a change detection system and being configured to receive the captured thermal and non-thermal images of the particular asset. The controller is configured to cause the sensors to capture thermal and non-thermal images. Upon receiving the captured thermal and non-thermal images, the change detection system is configured to detect a change in at least one characteristic of the asset.
Abstract: A thermal imaging system includes a thermal imaging sensor adapted to capture any number of thermal images of any number of assets in an environment, a non-thermal imaging sensor coupled to the thermal sensor and being adapted to capture any number of non-thermal images of the assets, an asset identification system adapted to identify a particular asset from the assets, an image alignment system, and a controller adapted to control operation of the thermal imaging sensor, the non-thermal imaging sensor, the asset identification system, and the image alignment system. Upon identifying the particular asset via the asset identification system, the controller is adapted to control the image alignment system to adjust an orientation of the thermal image and the non-thermal image and cause the thermal imaging sensor and the non-thermal imaging sensor to capture the image.
