Análisis de termografías infrarrojas dinámicas mediante técnicas de procesamiento de imágenes. (Analysis of Dynamic Infrared Thermographies through the Application of Image Processing Techniques.)

Access to images out of visible spectrum range has opened a wide field of possibilities for processes and material characterization in many areas of human activity. Thermography is particularly useful in analyzing the behavior of heat propagation phenomena. In this case, the analysis has been limited to verify the heat distribution at a given time, it means, the static aspect of the phenomena. The temporary connection of isotherms and heat generation areas can yield dynamic information that enables a more comprehensive analysis of equipment or materials behavior of interest. This paper presents the results obtained from the application of analytical techniques in different processes of some image sequences. The results show that it achieves a more precise understanding of the heat behavior circulation through the objects, it also reveals how sources and sinks assimilate the different conditions and the temperature profiles trends of constant or variable flow's general evolution.
