Research on the Influence of Multiple Interference Factors on Infrared Temperature Measurement

Infrared thermal imager is an important means of temperature measurement. However, the measurement results of infrared thermal imagers are easily affected by interference factors, resulting in non-negligible temperature measurement errors, and the infrared thermal imager may be affected by multiple factors at the same time. To research the influence of multiple interference factors on infrared temperature measurement, this paper takes two common interference factors in actual temperature measurement processes, dust and measuring distance, as examples. Firstly, this paper analyzed the influence of dust and measuring distance and carried out the temperature measurement experiments under multi-factor interference and the experiments under single-factor interference respectively. Then, based on nonlinear polynomial regression, a compensation method is proposed to compensate for the measurement errors caused by dust and measuring distance. Results demonstrate that the proposed compensation method can significantly reduce the measurement errors caused by multiple interference factors, which is essential to promote the application of infrared thermal imagers in complex scenes with multiple interferences.
