20210385393 · 2021-12-09 · ·

The present invention relates to an externally mounted calibration device and a temperature measurement system using the same. The temperature measurement system calibrates the temperature of the thermal camera using an externally mounted temperature calibration device that is mounted on one side of the outside of the thermal camera unit and includes a temperature measurement substrate with a temperature sensor. The temperature measurement substrate of the externally mounted temperature calibration device is captured simultaneously with the subject to be measured on the screen of the thermal camera, and using the temperature of the temperature measurement substrate measured by the temperature sensor and the temperature of the temperature measurement substrate measured by the thermal camera, the temperature of the subject to be measured by the thermal camera is calibrated, thereby ensuring that the thermal camera always maintains a constant temperature measurement result regardless of the environmental temperature when used.
