| Summary: | Multispectral imaging technology holds significant promise in the field of thermal imaging applications, primarily due to its unique ability to provide comprehensive two-dimensional spectral data distributions without the need for any form of scanning. This paper focuses on the development of an accessible basic design concept and a method for estimating temperature maps using a four-channel spectral imaging system. The research examines key design considerations and establishes a workflow for data correction and processing. It involves preliminary camera calibration procedures, which are essential for accurately assessing and compensating for the characteristic properties of optical elements and image sensors. The developed method is validated through testing using a blackbody source, demonstrating a mean relative temperature error of 1%. Practical application of the method is demonstrated through temperature mapping of a tungsten lamp filament. Experiments demonstrated the capability of the developed multispectral camera to detect and visualize non-uniform temperature distributions and localized temperature deviations with sufficient spatial resolution. |
