ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for non-contact temperature measurement of an object, using least-squares-based multiwavelength pyrometry techniques. Radiances from an object are detected by a spectrograph/detector apparatus and are converted into electronic signals readable by a computer. The computer then operates on these signals as data to be curve-fit, using least squares analysis, to a predetermined theoretical function for the dependence of the radiance on the wavelength. When the computer has minimized the least-squares difference function, the computer identified a parameter representing the temperature and reports this value to the user, along with a collaterally calculated maximum error in the temperature estimate.
