  • Mobile infrared apparatus for mapping thermal variations and method employing same
    Patent number: 4020344
    Abstract: Heat loss is detected by means of an infrared scanner mounted on a wheeled vehicle that moves along a horizontal path. The scanner is arranged to view a thermal scene along vertical scan lines transverse to the vehicle path, and corresponding electrical signals are recorded for subsequent playback and processing into a continuous strip map. The strip map can then be interpreted to locate potential areas of high heat loss which can then be confirmed by physical inspection.
