Zusammenfassung
Optical IR cameras for gas visualization/imaging have gained acceptance
and popularity in the past years. With these devices the scene is
displayed as a thermal image while the gas is visible as hot/cold
haze. As this is an imaging technique the operator can easily inspect
large areas and detect and pinpoint leaks. The interpretation and
analysis of the data is however still being carried out manually
with little assistance from the camera. This article briefly presents
the measurement method, discusses identifiable characteristics of
gas clouds and the necessary steps for automating the image processing
of the recorded measurement sequences.
