Data processing for simultaneous inversion of emissivity and temperature using improved CABCSMA and target-to-best DE algorithms in multispectral radiation thermometry (MRT).

Abstract

In this paper, what we believe to be, a new combined algorithm of artificial bee colony and slime mould algorithm (CABCSMA) and a differential evolution (DE) algorithm using target-to-best variation strategy are proposed to process the data based on Planck's radiation law and the mathematical model of reference temperature. The material model with 6 different emissivity trends is simulated. Simulation results show that the average relative error of CABCSMA algorithm is less than 0.68%, and the average calculation time is 0.44s. The average relative error of DE algorithm is less than 0.43%, and the average calculation time is only 0.06s. The two algorithms were applied to the temperature test of silicon carbide sample, tungsten material and rocket engine nozzle. The experimental results show that the relative error of silicon carbide experimental temperature is less than 0.41% and 0.28%, and the relative error of tungsten material experimental temperature is less than 0.31% and 0.3%. The relative errors of rocket engine nozzle temperature experiments are within 0.68% and 0.52%, respectively. The results show that these two algorithms are expected to be applied in practical measurement scenarios.
