    Abstract: A method for estimating the oxide thickness and the temperature of a heated steel strip, undergoing a heat treatment performed at a temperature from 100° C. to 1100° C., including the steps of 1. measuring at least two radiation intensities at different wavelengths, in a range from 1 to 5 μm, emitted by the heated steel strip, 2. estimating the temperature of the heated steel strip, TESTIMATED, based on the at least two measured radiation intensities and a reference radiation intensity for at least a reference wavelength, emitted by a reference steel strip having a determined oxide layer thickness, estimating the emissivity coefficient of the heated steel strip, εESTIMATED, using at least one of the measured radiation intensities and the estimated temperature, TESTIMATED, 4. estimating the oxide thickness, OxESTIMATED, of the heated steel strip using the estimated emissivity, εESTIMATED.

    Abstract: The disclosed MMW wave sensing camera calibration arrangement that generally includes a millimeter wave camera that uses an energy emission calibration panel as a calibration standard. The MMW camera is positioned opposite the calibration panel in the MMW camera's field-of-view. The calibration panel is held at a constant temperature to provide a standard emission of millimeter waves that is sensed by an MMW sensor to set or otherwise calibrate the MMW camera to a baseline emissivity value corresponding to the panel. The MMW camera is linked to a microprocessor and non-transient computer memory containing a calibration routine that is configured to reset the baseline only when nothing obstructs the calibration panel's field-of-view. A visual display is linked to the MMW camera and configured to display an MMW signature of a metal object that is disposed on a person's body when the person's body is in the field-of-view, the metal object concealed by clothing worn over the person's body.
