Claim One:
1. Imaging inspection device, in particular, a thermal imaging camera ( 20 ), a UV camera, a pyrometer and/or an imaging gas-leak detection system with a feature recognition unit, wherein the feature recognition unit is constructed to identify at least one marker ( 12 ) placed on an object ( 11 ) to be recorded and/or in a scene ( 24 ) to be recorded, and/or to identify a feature contained in a scene ( 24 ) to be recorded, and with a storage means in which metadata ( 17 , 18 , 19 ) is collected for each of the markers ( 12 ) and/or the identified features so that the metadata ( 17 , 18 , 19 ) varies between the markers ( 12 ) and/or the identified features, the metadata ( 17 , 18 , 19 ) including information beyond what is determinable by the imaging inspection device from the object ( 11 ) and/or the scene ( 24 ), the metadata ( 17 , 18 , 19 ) collected for a particular marker ( 12 ) and/or identified feature being stored in said storage means in association with the corresponding marker ( 12 ) and/or with the corresponding identified feature, wherein a resulting image may be retrieved from said storage means, said resulting image including an image based on the object ( 11 ) and/or the scene ( 24 ) with the metadata ( 17 , 18 , 19 ) being overlaid on the image at positions corresponding associatively to the markers ( 12 ) and/or the identified features.
