Publication number: 20240280410Abstract: A thermal image sensor to acquire a relative temperature and a temperature sensor to acquire an absolute temperature are provided in a space; a reference point is set at a position different from a temperature sensor installation position; and an absolute temperature of the reference point is estimated from a measurement value of the temperature sensor, a vertical component of a distance from the temperature sensor installation position to the reference point, a vertical component of a distance from the upper surface to the lower surface of the space, and a temperature coefficient of the space. A correction value is determined from the absolute temperature and relative temperature of the reference point, and an absolute temperature distribution is generated from the relative temperature distribution and the correction value. This allows a non-contact measurement of the absolute temperature of a measurement target with a simple configuration and without installation location restriction.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2021Publication date: August 22, 2024Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Yuka TSUDA, Takahiro NAKAI, Yudai NAKAMURA, Masaaki SHIMADA
