| Abstract | A drone-based inspection system that can move “freely” around an aircraft to perform the inspection of all the areas of interest in a fast and effective manner can have significant impact in reducing inspection time and cost. However, active thermography inspection using drone is challenging because the drone carrying the optical and thermal cameras is subjected to vibration and undesired motion. Since active thermography relies on the pixel temperature evolution over time, an unstable thermal video from a flying drone can cause error in the output results as any movement between the acquired images will affect the pixel position in the successive frames and thus disrupt the monitoring of the temperature evolution. This paper presents the outcome of experimental runs, where a commercially available drone equipped with both thermal and optical cameras was used to inspect a helicopter Main Rotor Blade (MRB) in a laboratory environment. |
