Drone Thermography

COURSE OVERVIEW

Thermography is a technique for detecting and measuring variations in the heat emitted from a surface and transforming them into visible signals. From thermal imagery, anomalies can be detected very quickly by observing apparent temperature differences. A thermal camera can also be used to measure the temperature of a surface from a distance.

Drone thermography can be useful for search and rescue operations, animal detection, as well as inspections of buildings, overhead power lines, electrical substations, solar panels and more.

The aim of this course is to introduce you to the field of drone thermography, covering the theory of thermography, the use of a thermal imaging camera, planning and carrying out a thermal survey, interpreting a thermal image, software image processing and software temperature measurement. The course is designed for everyone and is easy to understand. No prior knowledge of the subject is required.

Finally, please note that a thermal imaging camera is normally used as a complementary tool to an area of expertise. This course will teach you how to interpret a thermal image and detect potential anomalies. However, the diagnosis you make of a potential anomaly will depend very much on your knowledge and experience in the field in which you will be using a thermal imaging camera. This course is not a level 1, 2 or 3 course according to the recommended practice document SNT-TC-1A. Please contact us if you have any questions.
