Remote Transmission, Manipulation, and Display of Infrared Camera Data
First Claim
1. A method for transmission of infrared camera (IR) data, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a site associated with a gas turbine, the IR data from an IR camera associated with the gas turbine;
classifying the IR data as sensitive IR data and non-sensitive IR data based at least in part on predetermined criteria;
generating images based at least in part on the non-sensitive IR data;
providing the images, via a user interface, at the site associated with the gas turbine;
encrypting the sensitive IR data to produce encrypted sensitive IR data; and
transmitting the encrypted sensitive IR data and the non-sensitive IR data to a processing center.

Abstract
Systems and methods for transmission, manipulation, and display of infrared camera (IR) data are provided. According to one embodiment of the disclosure, a system may include an IR camera associated with a gas turbine to acquire the IR data and an IR camera data acquisition server installed at a site associated with the gas turbine and communicatively coupled to the IR camera. The IR camera server is configured receive the IR data from the IR camera. An IR camera data processing server to classify the IR data into sensitive IR data and non-sensitive IR data based at least in part on predetermined criteria. Based at least in part on the non-sensitive IR data, images are generated. The images are provided via a user interface at the site associated with the gas turbine. The sensitive IR data is encrypted to produce encrypted sensitive IR data. The encrypted sensitive IR data and the non-sensitive IR data are transmitted to a processing center.
