Infrared and visible imaging system for monitoring equipment

A system comprising:

• one or more computers;
• and
• one or more computer-readable media storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
• operating a camera system coupled to a vehicle, the camera system comprising a visible-light camera and an infrared camera;
• while the vehicle is moving, tracking a position of a device with respect to the camera system based at least in part on image data captured using the visible-light camera;
• repeatedly adjusting a position of the infrared camera based on the tracked position of the device to maintain the device in a field of view of the infrared camera as the vehicle with the camera system moves with respect to the device;
• recording image data generated by the infrared camera that indicates properties of the device;
• determining a temperature of the device based on the image data generated by the infrared camera;
• and
• determining a level of wear of the device based on the determined temperature.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that are operable, when executed by one or more processors, to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• operating a camera system coupled to a vehicle, the camera system comprising a visible-light camera and an infrared camera;
• while the vehicle is moving, tracking a position of a device with respect to the camera system based at least in part on image data captured using the visible-light camera;
• repeatedly adjusting a position of the infrared camera based on the tracked position of the device to maintain the device in a field of view of the infrared camera as the vehicle with the camera system moves with respect to the device;
• recording image data generated by the infrared camera that indicates properties of the device;
• determining a temperature of the device based on the image data generated by the infrared camera;
• and
• determining a level of wear of the device based on the determined temperature.
