Abstract
The detection of heat loss inside buildings is a key aspect in improving energy efficiency" and it helps to reduce the global emissions of greenhouse effect gases. This detection is usually done manually and with the use of expensive instrumentation. This paper proposes a novel tool to collect thermal signatures using a small unmanned aerial vehicle carrying thermopile IR sensors. The system was designed to overcome the limitations of the current thermal mobile robot platforms, it delivers faster temperature sensing scheme, extended coverage to inaccessible areas by ground" instrumentation, and is based on the use of low-cost sensors. Finally, the hypothesis that thermopile IR sensors can be used to track temperature signature on-the-fly is validated experimentally with the use of the proposed system over different targets."
