Abstract: The calibration/verification system and method for gas imaging infrared cameras standardizes the procedures to objectively and consistently check performance of gas imaging infrared cameras. This system includes a background board maintaining a uniform temperature, a target cell filled with a target compound and disposed in front of the background board, a reference cell filled with a reference compound and disposed in front of the background board, and an analyzer coupled to the camera that captures images of the gas cell and the reference cell. The analyzer compares the intensity difference and the temperature difference of rays passing through the target cell and reference cell to a reference relationship data of a quality control chart to determine whether the camera is in a working condition. The method is further extended to provide a quantitative measurement of a hydrocarbon plume from a gas imaging infrared camera.

Abstract: This invention provides a device and method for matching thermal images, which relates to infrared detection. The conventional thermal imaging device is excessively dependent on subjective experience of users to photograph a thermal image of a photographed body during photographing, causing omissions and failing to ensure the quality of the photographed thermal image. In the invention, if there is a specified body thermal image in the photographed infrared thermal image may be detected, and when the specified body thermal image is detected, the identification is displayed, thus to inform the users. Thereby, the technical requirements for the users are reduced, the photographing quality and speed is improved, and the working strength is reduced.
