A Camera Calibration Method for Temperature Measurements of Incandescent Objects Based on Quantum Efficiency Estimation by Vittorio Sala, Ambra Vandone, Michele Banfi, Federico Mazzucato, Stefano Baraldo, Anna Valente

“…In this paper, the quantum efficiency of an imaging system including the camera sensor, lens, and filters is inferred from a sequence of images acquired by looking at a black body source between 700 °C and 1100 °C. The physical model of the camera, based on the Planck law and the optimized quantum efficiency, allows the calculation of the Planckian locus in the color space of the camera. …”
