Making accurate temperature measurements

All the objects radiate infrared energy and this energy is based on two 
factors: surface temperature of the object and emissivity of the object’s 
surface. Imagers use the information from detecting infrared to estimate 
the object temperature.

Objects are in two categories: low emissivity and high emissivity

High emissivity: are efficient at radiating energy and emissivity 
factor estimated to be 95% like wood, water, cloth and etc.
Low emissivity: are not efficient at radiating energy. To obtain a 
temperature accurately we can do emissivity correction in two 
ways: directly entering value and use value of built-in value.

Note: If imagers use fixed value for emissivity, to get the accurate 
estimate, the measurements must be multiplied by a value found in a look 
up table.

 

SmartView Software

Combing user friendly interface with excellent analysis, SmartView is 
powerful software. Adding permanent comments, structuring and 
analyzing in high performance manner are advantages of this option. 
SmarView is capable of linking images for further evaluation and 
comparison. Utilizing this image editor, the user can effectively observe 
important details by adjusting the thermal images. Furthermore, the 
software converts IR and visible image to common image file formats such 
as JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF and PNG files.

SmartView is a free download. For download see
