Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  F  H | IPC F  G  H

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus to detect engine anomalies comprising:
at least one memory to store instructions; and
processor circuitry to execute the instructions to:
control a plurality of infrared cameras to capture a baseline image set, the baseline image set including at least two thermal images;
generate emissivity data based on the baseline image set, wherein the emissivity data is generated based on (1) associating a recognized object with an emissivity value stored in a database or (2) applying multi-color pyrometry to electromagnetic radiation of two different wavelength bands;
provide the baseline image set and the emissivity data to an artificial intelligence model, the artificial intelligence model to generate a reconstructed image set;
determine a difference between the baseline image set and the reconstructed image set based on:
a ratio of the baseline image set to the reconstructed image set; and
a neighboring area estimation; and

in response to the difference exceeding a threshold, generate an alert indicating detection of an engine anomaly.
