TY - CONF A1 - Stamm, Michael T1 - The KI-VISIR Reference Dataset: A Compilation of Thermal and Visual Inspection Data for Quantifying Leading Edge Rain Erosion N2 - This presentation introduces thermography (thermal imaging) as a key method for non-destructive testing (NDT) of wind turbine rotor blades. By leveraging solar heating and aerodynamic effects, passive thermography detects internal defects, delaminations, and surface issues like leading edge erosion. We discuss field measurements, the role of AI/Machine Learning (LATODA) for automated defect classification, and its importance for improving O&M efficiency and lifetime extension in the wind energy sector.
