Abstract

The research outlined in this investigation centres on employing image processing techniques to measure infrared (IR) intensity in spatial and temporal domains. The primary objective is to ascertain intensity levels at various spatial points over time, utilizing thermal imaging technology. To record the burning flare and produce radiometric data, the experimental setup makes use of a thermal camera. Additionally, a spectroradiometer is utilized to gauge intensity. To provide a particular application, the technology combines Plank’s quantization law with MATLAB-based image processing tools. The developed application in this study aims to quantify infrared (IR) intensity by incorporating both spatial and temporal dimensions. The calculation process of the developed application is grounded in Planck’s quantization law, serving as the foundational principle. Moreover, the application integrates image processing algorithms within MATLAB to elevate the accuracy and efficiency of intensity measurements. The envisioned use of this tool is within the defence sector, particularly for bolstering aircraft security. By furnishing a dependable and precise method for evaluating infrared (IR) intensity across both spatial and temporal dimensions, the developed application stands poised to elevate advanced surveillance and monitoring capabilities. Ultimately, this contributes to safeguarding the safety and security of aircraft within defense applications.
