## Description

Pipe Tracker is a specialized Chrome extension designed to detect and display hot pipes under floors using a FLIR ONE thermal camera. It utilizes advanced thermal image processing to identify and skeletonize hot pipe images, transforming them into piecewise-linear segments that are clearly visualized on the screen. 

Real-time analysis is supported for live thermal imaging, as well as offline processing for previously recorded images, making it a versatile tool for building planning, installation, and maintenance. Pipe Tracker enhances user visibility of pipe layouts beyond what can be discerned by the human eye from thermal stripes alone. Winner of the "Best DIY Energy Efficiency APP" in the Global Mobile Thermal APP Challenge, Pipe Tracker promises to be an indispensable aid for energy efficiency projects and may be adapted for electrical wire tracking in the future.
