Abstract
There is provided for an embodiment a method for enabling improved analysis and interpretation of associated image data in an infrared (IR) image and a visible light (VL) image depicting a real world scene, captured using a thermography arrangement comprising an IR imaging system and a VL imaging system, the method comprising: capturing an IR image depicting the scene, having a first field of view (FOV); capturing a VL image depicting the scene, having a second FOV; processing at least one of the VL image and the IR image such that the FOV represented in the VL image substantially corresponds to the FOV represented in the IR image; associating the resulting IR and VL images to provide associated images; and enabling a user to access the associated images for display, wherein analysis and interpretation of the associated images, having image pair content, is intuitive as the resulting VL image and the resulting IR image after associating represent the same FOV.
