ABSTRACT:
A method of measuring the temperature of a remote body which comprises determining the frequency range to be covered and the portion of that range or frequency band to be covered by each detector of a detector array or by a single detector via a filter for applying different frequency bands to the single detector. The required detector or detectors are then provided and sense the energy radiated by the remote body whose temperature is to be measured. The detector or detectors then provide an output of the amount of energy measured in each unique frequency band and sends these measured outputs to a processor. The processor receives the measured outputs from the detector(s) and determines therefrom in accordance with an algorithm thereat the measured temperature. The processor then provides an output indicative of the measured temperature.
