Abstract
An apparatus for monitoring a switchgear includes: an input unit; a processing unit; and an output unit. The input unit is provides the processing unit with a monitored infra-red image of a switchgear. The processing unit implements a machine learning classifier algorithm to analyse the monitored infra-red image and determine if there is one or more anomalous hot spots in the switchgear. The machine learning classifier algorithm has been trained based on a plurality of different training images, the plurality of training images including a plurality of synthetic infra-red images generated by an image processing algorithm. The output unit outputs information relating to the one or more anomalous hot spots.
