Hybrid Camera and Real-View Thermography for Nondestructive Evaluation

In this paper we present two novel approaches for enhancing active thermography for nondestructive testing: the hybrid camera setup is used to merge IR images with additional color images to provide the inspector with additional information on the screen. In order to make the evaluation of the data even more intuitive a real-view setup is presented that uses a projection technique to let the inspector view and interact with the measurement results directly on the part in a very intuitive way.
