METHODS, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEMS FOR STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS USING THERMAL IMAGING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computerized method for analyzing a structure, comprising:
- automatically capturing a plurality of images of a structure, the images being captured in one or more ranges of wavelengths of light;
processing the images to generate image data for the images; and
analyzing the image data to determine one or more properties of the structure;
wherein;
the images are captured at an angle with respect to the structure of between approximately 45 to 135 degrees; and
the images are captured during a time where one of indirect or no sunlight is present.

Abstract
The present invention provides methods, apparatus, and systems for analyzing a structure using thermal imaging. A plurality of images of a structure are automatically captured using one or more image capture devices. The images may be captured in one or more ranges of wavelengths of light. The images are then processed to generate image data for the images. The image data can then be analyzed to determine one or more properties of the structure. The images may be captured at an angle with respect to the structure of between approximately 45 to 135 degrees. The images may be captured during a time where one of indirect or no sunlight is present.
