Abstract
Thermal imaging systems are provided. An example thermal imaging system includes an infrared (IR) imager that acquires IR image data of a field of view of the IR imager. The thermal imaging system further includes video analysis circuitry operably coupled to the IR imager. The video analysis circuitry receives first temperature data of a first field reference within the field of view of the IR imager, receives second temperature data of a second field reference within the field of view of the IR imager, and receives IR image data from the IR imager. The video analysis circuitry calibrates the IR imager based upon the first temperature data, the second temperature data, and the IR image data. The thermal imaging system may further include a temperature control chamber enclosing the IR imager and configured to thermally isolate the IR imager and temperature sensors thermally coupled to the IR imager.
