Recently, there has been an increase in the automation of complex technological processes in various industries, which is caused by the need to increase production efficiency. Since non-destructive testing (NDT) has become an integral part of many industries, this trend is also observed in it. The obtained image containing information about the condition and quality of the object is the final result of the majority of testing methods. Therefore, automation of processing and analysis of received images is an urgent task for NDT today. The purpose of this article is to review image-processing technologies based on data integration and to consider the prospects of applying these methods to solving the problems of thermal NDT. The article describes the main theoretical principles of image fusion technology, considers the classification of fusion methods, and various modern methods of image fusion of different levels with their pros and cons. Various methods based on spatial data and transformations with quality metrics and their application in various fields were also discussed. In addition, the application of the technology of fusion in the problems of image formation during implementation of the thermal tomography method is considered. The following steps are proposed for the study of the use of fusion in the problems of materials diagnosis. 61 Ref. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
