Method and system for displaying images captured by a computing device including a visible light camera and a thermal camera

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer memory storing computer-readable program instructions, wherein the computer-readable program instructions are executable by the one or more processors to:
• generate, by the one or more processors, a first image file representing a thermal image captured by a thermal camera operatively coupled to the one or more processors;
• generate, by the one or more processors, a second image file representing a visible light image captured by a visible light camera operatively coupled to the one or more processors;
• generate, by the one or more processors, a first blended image based on the thermal image, the visible light image, and one or more user-selectable display settings;
• generate, by the one or more processors, a tag file including a tag pertaining to both the first image file and the second image file, wherein the tag pertaining to both the first image file and the second image file includes one or more tags corresponding to at least a portion of a vehicle identifier;
• display, on a display operatively coupled to the one or more processors, the first blended image;
• and
• transmit, by the one or more processors via a network interface to a server, an image file upload, wherein the image file upload includes:
• (i) the first image file, (ii) the second image file, (iii) the one or more user-selectable display settings, and (iv) the tag file, whereby the server can generate a second blended image based on the thermal image, the visible light image, and the one or more user-selectable display settings used to display the first blended image.

A non-transitory computer-readable memory having stored thereon instructions, that when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform functions comprising:

• generating a first image file representing a thermal image captured by a thermal camera operatively coupled to the one or more processors;
• generating a second image file representing a visible light image captured by a visible light camera operatively coupled to the one or more processors;
• generating a first blended image based on the thermal image, the visible light image, and one or more user-selectable display settings;
• generating a tag file including a tag pertaining to both the first image file and the second image file, wherein the tag pertaining to both the first image file and the second image file includes one or more tags corresponding to at least a portion of a vehicle identifier;
• displaying, on a display operatively coupled to the one or more processors, the first blended image;
• and
• transmitting, via a network interface to a server having an application for serving an image file generated by the one or more processors, an image file upload, wherein the image file upload includes:
• (i) the first image file, (ii) the second image file, (iii) the one or more user-selectable display settings, and (iv) the tag file, whereby the server can generate a second blended image based on the thermal image, the visible light image, and the one or more user-selectable display settings used to display the first blended image.
