Making accurate temperature measurements

All the objects radiate infrared energy and this energy is based on two
factors: surface temperature of the object and emissivity of the object's
surface. Imagers use the information from detecting infrared to estimate
the object temperature.
Objects are in two categories: low emissivity and high emissivity
High emissivity: are efficient at radiating energy and emissivity
factor estimated to be 95% like wood, water, cloth and etc.
Low emissivity: are not efficient at radiating energy. To obtain a
temperature accurately we can do emissivity correction in two
ways: directly entering value and use value of built-in value.
Note: If imagers use fixed value for emissivity, to get the accurate
estimate, the measurements must be multiplied by a value found in a look
up table.

SmartView Software

Combing user friendly interface with excellent analysis, SmartView is
powerful software. Adding permanent comments, structuring and
analyzing in high performance manner are advantages of this option.
SmarView is capable of linking images for further evaluation and
comparison. Utilizing this image editor, the user can effectively observe
important details by adjusting the thermal images. Furthermore, the
software converts IR and visible image to common image file formats such
as JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF and PNG files.
SmartView is a free download. For download see
