1. A tire inspection method, comprising: imparting motion to a tire to present a first portion of a tire surface to a thermal energy source; providing thermal energy from the thermal energy source to the first portion of the tire surface; imparting motion to the tire to present the first portion of the tire surface to an infrared detector; detecting infrared energy from the first portion of the tire surface with the infrared detector; generating a first infrared image of the first portion of the tire surface based at least in part on the infrared energy detected from the first portion of the tire surface; and analyzing the first infrared image with an image processing system to determine the presence of one or more anomalies in the surface of the tire.
