Claim One:
1. A method for enabling improved analysis and interpretation of associated infrared (IR) and visible light (VL) image data in an IR image and a VL image depicting a same scene, said IR image and VL image being captured using a thermography arrangement comprising an IR imaging system and a VL imaging system, the method comprising: capturing an IR image depicting the scene using the IR imaging system, having a first field of view; capturing a visible light image depicting the scene using the visible light imaging system, having a second field of view different from the first field of view; in response to activation of a field of view (FOV) follow control, wherein the FOV follow control is selectable by a user to activate or deactivate a FOV follow function for the IR and VL images, processing at least one of the VL image and the IR image, wherein the processing comprises a selection of cropping, windowing, zooming, shifting, and/or rotation such that the field of view represented in the VL image substantially corresponds to the field of view represented in the IR image, thereby generating a resulting IR image and a resulting VL image with the same field of view; storing in memory the resulting IR image and the resulting VL image as associated images with the same field of view; and enabling a user to access the associated images for display of a representation of said associated images, wherein the enabling comprises retrieving the associated images with the same field of view from the memory at a later time and displaying the associated images.
