Thermal Imaging Services
High-Altitude Imaging LLC — Precision heat mapping for roofs, solar & structures
OSHA 30 Certified
Part 107 Certified
Overview
We use radiometric thermal cameras to detect temperature anomalies that indicate moisture intrusion, insulation gaps, electrical faults, and overheating components. Our workflow includes environmental checks (time of day, delta‑T) to ensure reliable results and clear, defensible reports.
Capabilities
Roof Moisture Surveys
- Evening/early‑night flights for optimal delta‑T
- Thermal overlays atop orthomosaics
- Moisture suspect polygons with annotations
Solar PV Diagnostics
- String/module hotspot detection
- Bypass diode & junction anomalies
- PDF defect maps with panel row indexing
Building Envelope
- Insulation gaps & thermal bridging
- Air leakage paths around openings
- Pre/post remediation comparison
Electrical & Mechanical
- Overheated connections & bearings
- Load imbalance indicators
- Prioritization of maintenance actions
Disaster Assessment
- Hidden fire hotspots & residual heat
- Water intrusion mapping post‑storm
- Time‑stamped evidence for claims
QA & Methodology
- Radiometric capture with emissivity settings
- Weather & surface condition controls
- Spot/box measurements with temperature readouts
Workflow
1) Plan
- Define objectives: roof moisture, PV, envelope, MEP
- Set environmental window (sunset/night; delta‑T ≥ 10°F when possible)
- Safety, airspace, and site coordination
2) Capture
- Thermal + RGB passes (nadir & oblique)
- Radiometric settings, focus & calibration checks
- Ground spot checks where applicable
3) Process
- Orthomosaic + thermal alignment in WebODM
- Suspect area segmentation & labeling
- Temperature statistics (min/avg/max) per finding
4) Deliver
- PDF report with annotated thermal images
- GeoTIFF overlays & viewer link
- CSV of measurement tables on request
Deliverables
Standard Set
- Annotated thermal image set (PDF)

- Summary of findings with guidance
Optional Add‑Ons
- PV defect indexing by row/string
