Recently, accidents caused by the aging of structures are occurring frequently in the world. As a result, maintenance and accident prevention of structures are required. In this study, for the purpose of addressing these issues to solve these problems, we developed a non - destructive inspection technique using thermal imaging and planned damage detection process. we set up a scenario to detect the invisible excursions, cracks, and internal damage by sensing and analyzing the thermal energy radiated by the stainless steel test piece (STS304) with infrared thermal imaging equipment.
