Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed herein including a monitoring system an image sensor to obtain image data of a device and a governor to cause the image sensor to obtain image data of the device, to form an impression from the image data, to use the impression and the image data to determine a verdict.
Claims20
A monitoring system, comprising:
- a thermal image sensor to obtain thermal image data of a device;
- and
- a governor to:
- form an impression from the thermal image data, the impression to map thermal gradients within a selected volume of a structure of the device onto coefficients vectors,
- generate expected values for a state of the device at a predetermined time based on the impression and the thermal image data, and
- compare the thermal image data for the device at the predetermined time with the generated expected values.

A method for automated monitoring of a device, comprising:
- thermal imaging a device during an operating state of the device to obtain first thermal image data;
- forming an impression from the first thermal image data, the impression to map thermal gradients within a selected volume of a structure of the device onto coefficients vectors;
- imaging the device during a subsequent operating state of the device to obtain second thermal image data;
- estimating values for the second thermal image data using the impression;
- and
- comparing the estimated values for the second thermal image data to actual values for the second thermal image data.
