Claim One:
1. A roof moisture detection assembly comprising: an imaging system for continuously surveying a roof surface and intermittently obtaining discrete thermal and visible images of roof surface sectors and moisture therein and thereon; an imaging system support mast for mounting said imaging system in a position elevated relative to the roof surface; a reference target mounted on the roof surface; and an image-processing system adapted to compare current thermal and visible images of the roof surface, respectively, with previous thermal and visible images of the roof surface and detect shapes and areas of moisture-induced anomalous features, and to compare the current discrete thermal and visible images with each other and detect shapes and areas of moisture induced anomalous features; to provide a continuous and intermittent visual indication of the presence of moisture beneath the roof surface and moisture on the roof surface, whereby to provide for moisture detection.
