1. A thermal imaging system, the system comprising; a thermal imaging sensor configured to capture a plurality of thermal images containing thermal data of a plurality of assets in an environment; a non-thermal imaging sensor coupled to the thermal sensor, the non-thermal imaging sensor configured to capture a plurality of non-thermal images of the plurality of assets; an image alignment system; a controller configured to control operation of the thermal imaging sensor, the non-thermal imaging sensor, and the image alignment system by (i) adjusting an orientation of a present thermal view of a particular asset and a present non-thermal view of the particular asset, and (ii) causing the thermal imaging sensor to capture a thermal image of the present thermal view of the particular asset and the non-thermal imaging sensor to capture a non-thermal image of the present non-thermal view of the particular asset; and a remote computing device configured to receive the captured thermal and non-thermal images of the particular asset, the remote computing device having a change detection system configured to detect a change in at least one characteristic of the particular asset using the thermal image captured by the thermal imaging sensor.
