The invention relates to a method for improving the calibration precision of an infrared sensor. When the infrared sensor is calibrated, firstly, a blackbody origin with the same or similar emission coefficient with/to that of an object to be tested is selected, then, environment temperature intervals at several levels are divided according to the environment temperature range when the infrared sensor works, the work environment temperature of the infrared sensor is set through an environment temperature box or an air conditioner system, the infrared sensor is calibrated under the set environment temperature condition, the on-line test system or an instrument is adopted for recording the voltage or the current value output by the infrared sensor, a data sheet of the current or the voltage output by the infrared sensor corresponding to the standard blackbody temperature at the environment temperature at each level is obtained, the data is subjected to regression analysis, the output characteristic regression equation and curve of the infrared sensor are manufactured, the output characteristic is substituted into a test system, the calibration error is checked in the calibration state, and when the error exceeds the precision requirement, the calibration is carried out again. The method has the advantages that the error can be reduced, the calibration precision is improved, and the influence of the work environment temperature is avoided.
