Abstract

A radiative transfer model was developed for temperature measurement for semitransparent medium using infrared imager. Taking the reflection and emission of diffuse substrate and absorption and emission of medium into account, the radiation temperature was calculated with backward Monte Carlo method. The effects of geometric shape, emissivity of substrate εs and optical thickness τ were analyzed. The results show that obvious differences exist between opaque and semitransparent surfaces, radiation temperature of semitransparent medium increases with τ when εs < 1.0 and tends to the result of εs = 1.0 when τ ≥ 2, and complex or concave shape may affect the measurement results for both two types of surfaces due to the reflection of radiation.
