What's new in HeatScribe 2.0

HeatScribe 2.0 makes it faster and easier to import, organize, review, and report on large thermal inspections.

Faster, more flexible importing


Thermal data is now prepared concurrently to reduce processing time.


For larger inspections, you can start organizing and reviewing images while thermal preparation continues in the background. HeatScribe displays its progress, and prioritizes images as you open them.


Single-image imports remain quick and simple, without unnecessary progress or confirmation windows.


Designed for large image collections


The image grid has been redesigned to remain responsive when working with hundreds or thousands of images.


Thumbnails load progressively as you browse, begin generating during import, and update automatically when processed thermal imagery becomes available.


Previous and Next buttons have also been added to the image toolbar for easier mouse-based navigation.


New inspection Navigator


The redesigned Navigator provides quick access to:

  • All imported images

  • Thermal images

  • RGB images

  • Images not assigned to a group

  • Images included in the report

  • Inspection findings


Each view includes an image count, making it easier to understand and navigate large inspections


Colour-coded image groups


Select related images and organize them into custom groups such as roof sections, inverter rows, buildings, or inspection areas.


Each group can be named and colour-coded for faster visual identification. Groups are saved with the inspection and displayed in the Navigator alongside their image counts.


Improved findings workflow


Findings now appear in the Navigator with colour indicators matching their assigned severity.


The redesigned findings panel makes it clearer when an image has been assigned to a finding and places the relevant creation, editing, assignment, and report controls together.


Clearer Delta T analysis


The Delta T panel now presents hotspot, reference, and calculated temperature differences in a simpler format.


Automatic severity indicators are shown only when custom Delta T priority rules have been configured, keeping ordinary manual measurements uncluttered.


Consolidated analysis conditions


Weather information and thermal measurement parameters are now presented together under Analysis Conditions.


You can quickly review or edit:

  • Emissivity

  • Reflected temperature

  • Ambient temperature

  • Distance

  • Humidity

  • Wind speed


Online weather results are clearly identified, while per-image measurement overrides remain available when needed.


Camera-aware distance validation


HeatScribe now reads the supported measurement-distance range from each DJI thermal image instead of applying the same limit to every camera.


This allows supported cameras to use their proper distance range while providing a clear warning when an entered value falls outside the range supported by the image.

Clearer import results and recovery


Import summaries now clearly separate thermal images, RGB images, duplicates, and files requiring attention.


HeatScribe also includes improved thermal-engine health checks, automatic retry handling, and more useful diagnostic information when an image cannot be processed.
