    Abstract: A field deployable infrared imaging (FDIR) system for inspecting a composite component comprises an emitter configured to impart heat into a composite component via infrared radiation, a camera configured to capture an infrared image of the composite component, and a processing system configured to post-process the infrared image. A method of inspecting a composite component is disclosed that comprises subjecting a component to infrared radiation, capturing a thermal image of the component, inspecting the captured thermal image for defects in the composite component, and post-processing the thermal image using a second order derivative algorithm wherein the post-processed thermal image shows the defect better than the captured infrared image.
