Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to evaluating thermal properties of building surfaces. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a method of evaluating insulation in a cavity in a building surface. The method includes obtaining an infrared image of a first area of the building surface that covers the cavity, where the infrared image includes an array of digital pixel values. The infrared image is partitioned into a plurality of regions based on the digital pixel values. A shape of a first identified region is determined using a shape analysis algorithm and whether the first identified region corresponds to a first insulation void is recognized based on the determined shape of the first identified region.
