Recent studies about non-contact temperature measurement concern passive multiband radiometric systems. These systems give a potential possibility of accurate temperature measurements in case of unknown and wavelength depended emissivity of the examined object. Modeling of such systems, what is usually the first stage of system designing, requires acceptance of several simplifications and approximations. In this paper an experimental verification of modeling result is performed. Based on developed experimental setup some tests are performed. It allows us to determine some systems parameters and whole system estimation.

During last decade an increasing interest in passive multiband systems for temperature measurement was noted. However, recent studies showed that multiband systems are capable of producing accurate results of non-contact temperature measurement only in limited number of applications. Available literature about passive multiband systems concentrated exclusively on problem of temperature measurements too. A model of a passive multiband system for non-contact emissivity measurement has been developed and presented in this paper. Simulations carried out using this model showed that it is possible to achieve reasonable accuracy of emissivity measurements with passive multiband systems and these systems can be considered as an attractive solution for emissivity measurements in industrial conditions.

MODIS -Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer UCSB Emissivity Library- (an updated link)

The MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) UCSB Emissivity Library is a collection of Emissivity measurements of natural and man made materials that may be used as a source of spectral emissivities at the component level in the TIR BRDF models to calculate the scene emissivities in the split-window channels to be used in the LST algorithms.

This data set was collected by Dr. Zhengming Wan's Group at ICESS (Institute for Computational Earth System Science) located on the campus of UCSB (University of California, Santa Barbara).
