Image processing of leaks detection in sequence of infrared images

This work presents the method of leaks detection in recorded sequence of infrared images. Infrared field measurements were taken on small experimental embankment during flood process simulation. The leak processes took place thru initially dry facility. Getting wet areas were visible in infrared images as lower temperatures part of embankment on its air side. Image processing methods allowed to localize the leak in thermal images, despite the impact of external factors on the measurement and differences in objects emissivity in the observed scene.
