Abstract: A system and method for correcting fixed pattern noise in far-infrared (FIR) images captured by a shutterless FIR camera. The method includes: determining a drift coefficient based on previously determined calibration values and high pass filter values applied to an input FIR image captured by the shutterless FIR camera; smoothing the drift coefficient based, in part, on previously computed drift coefficient values; and removing noise from the input image based on the smoothed drift coefficient value.

Abstract: Devices and corresponding methods can be provided to monitor or measure temperature of a target or to control a process. Targets can have low, unknown, or variable emissivity. Devices and corresponding methods can be used to measure temperatures of thin film, partially transparent, or opaque targets, as well as targets not filling a sensor's field of view. Temperature measurements can be made independent of emissivity of a target surface by, for example, inserting a target between a thermopile sensor and a background surface maintained at substantially the same temperature as the thermopile sensor. In embodiment devices and methods, a sensor temperature can be controlled to match a target temperature by minimizing or zeroing a net heat flux at the sensor, as derived from a sensor output signal. Alternatively, a target temperature can be controlled to minimize the heat flux.

Abstract: An infrared camera includes a lens unit including a lens and a lens barrel, a heater that is provided at the lens unit and heats the lens, an infrared image sensor that captures an image using infrared light focused by the lens, a chassis that is fixed to an external surface side of the lens barrel while being thermally insulated from the lens unit and contains the infrared image sensor, and a light-blocking member that is located between the lens barrel and the infrared image sensor inside the chassis as viewed in a direction of an optical axis of the lens and blocks infrared light radiated toward the infrared image sensor and coming without passing through the lens, thus reducing the influence of infrared light coming without passing through the lens on capturing of an image.

Abstract: A device may include a first infrared sensor, a second infrared sensor, a temperature detecting component, and an occupancy detecting component. The first infrared sensor may connect to the temperature detecting component through a first temperature signal path and the occupancy detecting component through a first occupancy signal path. The second infrared sensor may connect to the temperature detecting component through a second temperature signal path and the occupancy detecting component through a second occupancy signal path. The temperature detecting component may determine a temperature measurement by calculating an average of a value received from the first temperature signal path and a value received from the second temperature signal path. The occupancy detecting component may determine an occupancy measurement by calculating a difference of the value received from the first occupancy signal path and the value received from the second occupancy signal path.

Abstract: An infrared sensor assembly for sensing infrared radiation from an object is disclosed. The infrared sensor assembly comprises a sensor array comprising a plurality of sensing elements, provided on or embedded in a substrate extending in a substrate plane. The sensor array comprises at least two infrared sensing elements, each infrared sensing element having a radiation responsive element providing a proportionate electrical signal in response to infrared radiation incident thereto and at least two blind sensing elements, at least one blind sensing element being interspersed among the at least two sensing elements, each blind sensing element being shielded from incident infrared radiation from the object and providing a proportionate electrical signal in response to parasitic thermal fluxes. The output of the sensor array is a function of the infrared sensing elements and of the blind sensing elements such that parasitic thermal fluxes are at least partly compensated for.

Abstract: An image-forming apparatus contains a control portion, a thermopile sensor, a temperature sensor, a fan, a heater, a guide plate temperature detection sensor, an external air temperature detection sensor, a fixing temperature detection sensor and the color sensor. The control portion calculates estimated sheet temperature of the conveying sheet using information such as guide plate temperature, external air temperature, fixing temperature and paper weight. The control portion controls the fan or the heater to drive so that sensor temperature of the thermopile sensor approaches the estimated sheet temperature of the sheet. The control portion controls the thermopile sensor to carry out a measurement of the temperature of the sheet when the sensor temperature falls within a set range in relation to the estimated sheet temperature.
