An apparatus and method for providing a real-time video display and a temperature map display of an object, in particular a flame, comprises a single CCD video camera and optical equipment which focuses separate light bundles onto a photosensitive surface of the camera. A separate band pass filter is used in each light bundle to filter selected different wavelengths of light. The video signal from the camera is used in a video digitizer to obtain data which can be used to calculate a temperature map based on the different wavelengths of light of the two bundles. The video signal is also used to produce a real-time video display of the object.

A fuel channel flatness measuring system. A stationary measuring unit which allows measuring of two sides of fuel channels without detaching the fuel channel from the crane send warp and axial position electronic signals to conditioning electronics which amplify and digitize the signals for computer use. A computer analysis unit receives the signals and processes and corrolates them to generate a contour profile of the entire length of the measured fuel channel. Fixed and spring loaded rollers mounted on the measuring unit and in rolling contact with the fuel channel guide the fuel channel and allow the movement caused by warp which results in the generated signals.
