Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of infrared thermometry technology, specifically a multi-source visual thermometry method for targets with different emissivity. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as metallurgical manufacturing, equipment inspection, and environmental monitoring, temperature information is a crucial parameter reflecting the operating status, heat distribution characteristics, and abnormal changes of a target. Its measurement accuracy is essential for fault diagnosis, condition assessment, process control, and safety early warning. Infrared thermal imaging technology, as a typical non-contact temperature measurement method, is widely used in these fields due to its advantages such as fast response speed and wide temperature measurement range.

[0003] In infrared thermometry, the measurement results are not only related to the actual temperature of the target but also closely related to the radiation characteristics of the target surface, with emissivity being a crucial factor affecting measurement accuracy. According to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, the radiative exitance of an object's surface is simultaneously affected by the coupling effect of temperature and emissivity. When the emissivity parameter deviates from its true value, it will directly lead to a systematic deviation in the measurement results. However, in actual temperature measurement, the measured scene is usually composed of multiple materials, and the surface emissivity of different material regions varies significantly, resulting in different infrared radiation characteristics. This makes infrared thermometry results in complex scenes susceptible to the influence of uneven spatial distribution of emissivity.

[0004] To address the challenge of accurate temperature measurement under spatially non-uniform emissivity distribution, existing methods primarily include: calculating the temperature of the entire field of view using a uniform emissivity parameter, manually setting emissivity parameters for different regions based on operator experience, or adaptive emissivity estimation using algorithms based on a single infrared image. The uniform emissivity parameter method fails to reflect material differences, resulting in systematic biases in the temperature measurement results. Manually setting regional parameters relies on operational experience and is inefficient, making it difficult to adapt to dynamic changes in the scene. Furthermore, relying solely on infrared images for emissivity estimation is limited in accuracy because the infrared radiation signal is simultaneously affected by temperature and emissivity, making it difficult to distinguish between radiation differences caused by temperature variations and those caused by material emissivity differences. Visible light images, however, have a natural advantage in characterizing material texture and surface structure features, providing complementary information that infrared images lack for distinguishing regions with different emissivity.

[0005] In the prior art, for example, patent application number CN202510307632.0 discloses a dual-band infrared thermometry method. This method achieves dual-band continuous infrared thermometry by changing the radiation constant in Planck's formula to a parameter that varies with factors such as the material and properties of the object being measured, and selecting the optimal temperature measurement wavelength based on the radiation intensity-wavelength relationship curve. However, the parameter solution of this method depends on the accurate measurement and calibration of multi-wavelength radiation intensity at a specific temperature point. The calibration process is complex, and long-term stable operation is difficult. Furthermore, it does not provide an adaptive compensation mechanism for the problem of emissivity varying with space in complex scenarios.

[0006] For example, patent application number CN202511484539.3 discloses a method for calculating the temperature field of a bridge section by integrating infrared imaging and finite element analysis. This method uses the surface temperature measured by infrared thermal imaging as a boundary condition to introduce into the finite element model to reconstruct the temperature field of the structural section. However, its temperature measurement results depend on the preset values ​​of parameters such as emissivity. In cases where the emissivity space is non-uniform or the surface state changes, the error is easily amplified, and there is a lack of effective error constraint mechanism, resulting in insufficient stability of temperature estimation.

[0007] Visible light images have a natural advantage in characterizing material texture and surface structure features, providing complementary information that infrared images lack, which is needed to distinguish regions with different emissivity. Therefore, how to utilize the complementary information from infrared-visible multi-source images and the radiative transfer mechanism to address the insufficient accuracy of infrared thermometry under non-uniform emissivity conditions and achieve accurate online detection of surface temperature in complex scenes is a pressing technical problem in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the aforementioned technical challenges, this invention proposes a multi-source visual temperature measurement method for targets with varying emissivity. This invention utilizes an infrared thermal imager and a visible light camera to simultaneously acquire infrared and visible light images of the target scene, providing a data foundation for subsequent multimodal fusion analysis. To address the issues of significant emissivity differences across different material regions and the potential for systematic temperature measurement errors introduced by unifying emissivity parameters, this invention models the emissivity region segmentation problem as a bimodal semantic segmentation task, achieving pixel-level automatic emissivity region segmentation and identification through a cross-modal fusion mechanism. To address the multi-source uncertainty in emissivity estimation, this invention employs a probabilistic modeling method to model emissivity, generating an emissivity estimation map and an uncertainty map by integrating multi-source uncertainties. To address the issue that emissivity estimation deviations can amplify temperature measurement errors, this invention constructs a temperature compensation model that integrates data-driven and radiation mechanism constraints. Through an uncertainty-guided dynamic equilibrium compensation strategy, combined with an emissivity back-calculation verification and correction mechanism, it achieves accurate temperature detection for targets with multiple emissivity. The temperature measurement method and system proposed in this invention can adapt to complex scenes composed of various materials, possessing advantages such as quantifiable uncertainty, high temperature measurement accuracy, and strong robustness.

[0084] in, This is the learnable scaling factor.

[0085] Furthermore, the final compensated temperature is obtained in step S3. Subsequently, to ensure that the temperature compensation results conform to the physical laws of infrared radiation, a physical consistency constraint is introduced, which is applied to the compensation temperature.

To verify the effectiveness of the temperature measurement method of the present invention, the set temperature of the material plate was used as the actual temperature reference value. The temperature measurement results of the present invention were compared and analyzed with the temperature directly read by an infrared thermal imager and the temperature measurement results obtained solely by physical inference methods.
