TY - CONF A1 - Kunji Purayil, Sruthi Krishna T1 - Automated Active Infrared Thermography for Advanced Non-Destructuve Testing N2 - Active thermographic testing is a versatile and powerful method of the non-destructive testing (NDT) family. With the advent of modern laser technology, new and significant fields of application have emerged. When combined with industrial robotics, laser thermography enables fully automated, large-area inspection of components with complex geometries for surface and near-surface cracks. This lecture will provide an overview of the fundamental principles of laser thermography, highlight recent developments and automation efforts within our department for thermographic surface-crack detection, and present an outlook on emerging research trends and modern thermography techniques shaping the future of NDT.
