Infrared emissivity measurement methods considering target reflective characteristics

Emissivity measurements are of great significance for infrared thermal radiation and infrared remote sensing. However, traditional methods often face challenges such as difficulties in non-contact measurement, small measurement areas, and unsuitability for non-Lambertian surfaces. To address these issues, we propose the reflective distribution model integral method (RDMIM). This method is based on a reflective distribution model using the scattering-reflective deviation angle (SRDA). By regressing and integrating the object's reflective distribution model, it achieves accurate non-contact measurement of non-Lambertian surfaces under normal temperature conditions. Additionally, the measurement scheme has been further optimized to improve measurement efficiency while ensuring the accuracy of the model regression. Finally, the proposed RDMIM method has been validated through experimental measurements. The results have shown that this method has advantages in non-contact and large-area measurements. Moreover, the systematic error is smaller when the reflective characteristics of the reference body and the target are relatively similar. (c) 2024 Optica Publishing Group.
