What is it about?

The joint use of 3D imaging and infrared thermography is a powerful tool in engineering and sciences, specifically of great interest in non-destructing testing and continuous monitoring. This paper examines a way to realize 3D thermography at low cost and low effort.

Why is it important?

By exploiting software and hardware developments, such as we propose in this paper, 3D thermography can widely spread. Applications range from structural and maintenance diagnostics of buildings (historical but also civil infrastructures such as bridges), evaluation of energy efficiency, up to the investigation of large archaeological sites.

Perspectives

I hope this article may help to spread 3D thermography to low-budget projects, such as, for example, to cultural heritage protection projects by small museums and communities.
