Infrared Theory

The primary objective of thermal surveillance is the locating and documenting of temperature differences on an object of interest.   Once imaged, the object’s thermal signature relative to that space and time can be recorded as photography (JPEGs), high-definition video, or electronic digital data.  The initial recorded images serve as the baseline measurement to which later survey comparisons can be made.

Thermal imaging can also be used to document defects and for maintenance service follow-up. IR thermography from the air or ground can detect literally hundreds of conditions in which an anomaly is characterized by an increase or decrease in surface temperature. Another form of anomaly is the retention of latent heat. In the TAPS system, thermal anomalies could represent surfical or internal surface discontinuities, oxidation, corrosion, accumulation of transported substances, differential thicknesses in materials, damage, leakage, hairline fractures or points of friction. 

In the environment, thermal discontinuity might be documented due to thermal radiance from adjacent objects, seepage, addition of materials, changes in heat capacity or reflectance, animal or vehicle traffic, surfical accumulations or changes in the ground temperature. When actual temperatures are assigned to the objects imaged, the applications are considered radiometric and then allow for the powerful integration of analytical software and quantifiable imaging tools.
