  • Airborne inspection systems and methods
    Patent number: 11378458
    Abstract: Flight based infrared imaging systems and related techniques, and in particular UAS based thermal imaging systems, are provided to improve the monitoring capabilities of such systems over conventional infrared monitoring systems. An infrared imaging system is configured to compensate for various environmental effects (e.g., position and/or strength of the sun, atmospheric effects) to provide high resolution and accuracy radiometric measurements of targets imaged by the infrared imaging system. An infrared imaging system is alternatively configured to monitor regulatory limitations on operation of the infrared imaging system and adjust and/or disable operation of the infrared imaging systems accordingly.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 18, 2018
    Date of Patent: July 5, 2022
    Assignee: Teledyne FLIR, LLC
    Inventors: Jeffrey D. Frank, Michael Kent, Anna-Karin Lindblom, Lei Bennett, Andrew C. Teich
