Infrared detection is used in industrial, surveillance, medical and defense applications. Infrared emissions provide a direct insight into an object's temperature, but the shape, size and surface characteristics of an object influence the signal, so that the first-order relation between IR emission and temperature is not exact. If an object's IR emission is measured at several wavelengths, it is possible to eliminate surface and shape effects and to reconstruct its temperature. Doing so, however, requires multiple detectors, cooling assemblies and sets of electronics, and the imaging...Read full article
