Measure of the influence of detector noise on temperature-measurement accuracy for multiband infrared systems

Abstract

The noise-equivalent temperature difference is a measure of the detector-noise-limited sensitivity of single-band IR systems for noncontact temperature measurement. However, because its definition is based on the signal-to-noise ratio in a single detector channel, the notion of noise-equivalent temperature difference must be generalized in case of dual-band or multiband IR systems. A new measure of temperature-measurement sensitivity is proposed that can be used to describe single-band, dual-band, and multiband IR measurement systems. With this measure a comparison of temperature-measurement accuracy among single-band, dual-band, and multiband systems was carried out.

Comparison between multiwavelength infrared and visible pyrometry: Application to metals

“…Concerning the errors of the temperature measurements, the same conclusions as Chrzanowski and Szulim [64,65] were found:…”

Infrared pyrometer for temperature measurement of objects, emissivity of which depends on wavelength and time

“…The errors of temperature measurement with multiband systems caused by a detector noise and other internal disturbances decrease when the difference between the number of system spectral bands n and the number of the unknowns m rise [8]. Therefore, the system of eight spectral bands has been designed; i.e., two times higher number of bands n than the number of unknowns m.…”

A ridge estimation-sequence quadratic programming constraint optimization algorithm for data processing in multi-spectral thermometry

“…Multi-spectral thermometry is a typical non-contact temperature measurement technology. This technology has been widely used in the field of high temperature measurement due to its no upper measurement limit in theory and rapid response [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. The data processing is the key of multi-spectral thermometry, and the core of it is to solve a system of equations containing N equations.…”
