Title: Numerical assessment of uncertainty and dynamic range expansion of multispectral image-based pyrometry

Abstract

Temperature measurements based on spectral radiation are often limited by prior knowledge of target surface properties and detector sensitivity. Here the present work describes a multispectral pyrometry method for temperature estimation that does not require information on surface emissivity or calibration. Digital camera simulations considering a silicon-based sensor and five bandpass filters are used to create synthetic images of targets. The detector sensitivity is compensated via high dynamic range imaging technique. The effect of natural and detector noise on temperature estimates is assessed via Monte Carlo simulations. Results from a wavelength-independent model (Gray) are compared with those from the Band model (with emissivity varying between constant spectral bands). The effect of detector dynamic range and spectral position of bandpass filters is discussed. Temperatures as low as 520 K are obtained, with an overall uncertainty of the order of 10 K. The proposed method is applicable to temperature measurements using commercial-grade CMOS/CCD cameras.
