Research abstract
ABSTRACT:A passive, noncontact, optical technique is proposed that provides continuous (up to hundreds of Hz update), global temperature measurements over the entire image of the test article. This rapid and accurate thermal mapping of the article will improve testing efficiency. From the surface temperature maps and their temporal evolution, heat flux can be determined using numerical modeling of the test models internal heating.BENEFIT:The sensor is capable of stand-off imaging of heated surfaces at ranges from 1 to 100+ meters, measuring surface temperatures from 300-2000K, and providing surface temperature maps with sufficient spatial resolution over the 1m field of view. Further, the system operates as a fast snapshot imager, capable of recording surface temperature data at up to 430 frames per second.
