Abstract
Infrared spectral analysis techniques offer a viable solution to the problem of detecting ice on various surfaces such as aircraft, road pavement and the Space Shuttle external fuel tank. Imaging systems implementing these techniques can be used to support, and eventually replace, manual inspection methods involving de-icing technicians and pilots. This paper reviews the theory, technology and applications of a prototype multispectral camera system developed for remote imaging of ice on various surfaces.
