Hand-held and UAV camera comparison in building thermal inspection process

Thermal building inspections indicate the growing interest among researchers due to the global climate changes resulting in legislations and policy contribution to low-energy consumption. The technologies applied during the experiments involve infrared cameras: both hand-held and on unmanned aerial vehicles. The research conducted in the public building in Kielce included the analysis of glass partition from the inside of the building by means of hand-held and UAV camera. The temperature distributions presented in the graphs proved that both methods are accurate in case of such investigations. However, during the experiments, it was concluded that hand-held camera is far more convenient.
