Abstract

Infrared (IR) imaging systems obtain thermal images by converting surface temperature into two-dimensional images by measuring IR radiation from an object’s surface. This research proposes a wavelength-band transformation method to convert an IR image of an arbitrary wavelength-bandwidth into an IR image of another wavelength-bandwidth. We estimate the temperature of an arbitrary wavelength by obtaining the radiance from the black body radiation theory and the linear transformation function of the gray level from the radiance. We generate an IR image for another wavelength-bandwidth by calculating the radiance of another wavelength-bandwidth using the estimated temperature. The validity of the proposed method was verified through simulations. The IR target image was generated using RadThermIR software, and images, acquired from a thermal observation device, were used as IR background image.
