Thermographic imaging for quality analysis

A computer-implemented method, wherein the computer-implemented method is performed by a computer based on thermographic quality analysis software provided to the computer from a remote data processing system, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, at the computer and from a thermographic imaging system, thermographic images of an unpowered component exposed to an external heat source for a predetermined period of time;
• determining, by a machine learning model implemented on the computer, whether the unpowered component is defective, wherein the machine learning model is trained using a corpus of historical thermographic images for the unpowered component;
• and
• presenting a quality classification with an identifier of the unpowered component on an interface communicatively coupled to the computer, wherein the classification is based on an output of the machine learning model;
• metering usage of the thermographic quality analysis software;
• and
• generating an invoice based on metering the usage of the thermographic quality analysis software.
