ABSTRACT
The combination of thermographic data with geometric data presents a high number and variety of applications, given the importance of both types of information in a wide diversity of studies. Thermography provides information about the state of the structure of interest, from the presence of thermal pathologies such as air infiltrations and thermal bridges, to the level of decay of the materials associated with water content. The treatment of all these pathologies is greatly benefited by the knowledge of their geometry: thermal bridges require the value of thermal transmittance and length in order to be completely characterized. Different procedures can be applied to the incorporation of geometry to the thermographic images, either using complementary devices or not: from subjecting the thermographic images to photogrammetric procedures, to combining the images with a 3D point cloud acquired with a laser-scanning device.
