ABSTRACT:
A method for generating a thermographic output survey image, such as for a building roof moisture survey or concrete delamination survey, using a processor and a display screen operatively connected thereto includes the steps of: obtaining an aerial thermographic survey image and an aerial visual image of a survey area; loading the thermographic and visual images into the processor; displaying on the display screen the thermographic image superimposed on the visual image; selectively reducing an opacity of the displayed thermographic survey image to reveal visible features of the underlying displayed visual image; and observing and selectively removing false anomaly thermographic image portions from the displayed thermographic survey image based upon features of the underlying visual image to thereby generate an accurate and high quality output thermographic survey image. If a hard copy of the output survey image is desired, the method may also include the step of printing the output thermographic survey image. Apparatus aspects of the invention are also disclosed.
