Correction of Thermographic Contrast Values in Relation to the Average Temperature of the Region for Comparative Analysis of Anomalies Exposed to Different Thermal Flows

In the field of civil construction, infrared thermography can be used as a tool for inspection of building elements such as facade inspection. The large amount of variables involved in the thermal flow acting on the facade of a building makes it difficult to compare different points of the facade. T...

Description
Summary:In the field of civil construction, infrared thermography can be used as a tool for inspection of building elements such as facade inspection. The large amount of variables involved in the thermal flow acting on the facade of a building makes it difficult to compare different points of the facade. This work suggests the correction of the thermographic contrast values of the anomalies (Delta-T) in the relation at the average temperature of the region in which the anomaly is located. The results demonstrate a good correlation between the values of Delta-T and the adjusted Delta-T, thus legitimizing the use of adjusted Delta-T as a function of thermographic contrast.
