Introduction 5.1 Optical gas imaging of methane The FLIR GF77a is an infrared camera for optical gas imaging (OGI) that allows oil and gas operators and other industrial markets a solution for continuous and autonomous leak detection. The FLIR GF77a is used in industrial settings such as natural gas proc- essing plants, biogas and power generation plants and helps to protect the environment by tracing leaks of methane.

17.3 Camera calibration at FLIR Systems Without calibration, an infrared camera would not be able to measure either radiance or temperature. At FLIR Systems, the calibration of uncooled microbolometer cameras with a measurement capability is carried out during both production and service. Cooled cam- eras with photon detectors are often calibrated by the user with special software.
The calibration information, no matter if the calibration is done by FLIR Systems or the user, is stored in calibration curves, which are expressed by mathematical functions. As...
About calibration Calibration is also a prerequisite for adjustment, which is the set of operations carried out on a measuring system such that the system provides prescribed indications corre- sponding to given values of quantities to be measured, typically obtained from measure- ment standards.
