Abstract
This paper deals with an embedded module for automation of thermographic inspection. The module captures video streams from an infrared camera and from a visible image camera and performs an image processing to detect faults. The protocols used to capture the image streams and the image processing are discussed. The results, with the faults highlighted, are sent through an synthetic image stream to a supervision station.
