Abstract
Systems and methods for assessing a physical structure are provided. Information indicative of an infrared image that includes a portion of the physical structure is received, and one or more indicators within the infrared image exceeding a heat threshold are determined. A plurality of characteristics of the one or more indicators are determined. Information indicative of an image of the portion of the physical structure, corresponding to the infrared image, is received, and locations of the one or more indicators are determined. The image is analyzed according to the locations of the one or more indicators to determine information indicative of (i) a fastener coupled to the physical structure or (ii) damage to the physical structure, and the one or more indicators are classified according to the analysis. Based on the classification of the one or more indicators, a condition of the physical structure is determined.
