Nowadays several thermal cameras capture images based on a pinhole camera model. This paper shows how multiple images of flat-like objects or 3D bodies can be mapped and mosaicked with a mathematical formulation between image and object spaces. This work demonstrates that both geometric and radiometric parts need proper mathematical models that allow the user to obtain a global product (orthophotos or 3D models) where accurate and detailed photogrammetric models and thermal images are registered in order to combine geometry and thermal information.
