In a heating appliance comprising a substrate for receiving an item of cookware, a method of measuring reflectivity comprises emitting a time-varying electromagnetic signal from a first side of the substrate, a portion of the time-varying electromagnetic signal propagating through the substrate. Electromagnetic radiation is then received at the first side of the substrate, the received electromagnetic radiation comprising a background ambient component received and a component reflected by the substrate. A gain factor is applied to translate the received electromagnetic radiation to a receive electrical signal. An offset signal component is then identified from the receive electrical signal, the offset signal component arising from the background ambient component of the received electromagnetic radiation. The gain factor from the offset signal component is then estimated using a characterisation of the offset signal component, and the reflectivity is calculated using the receive electrical signal and the estimated gain factor.

Systems, methods, and computer program products for thermal contrast determinations are provided. An example imaging system includes a first infrared (IR) imaging device that generates first IR image data of a field of view of the first IR imaging device and a computing device connected with the first IR imaging device. The computing device receives probe temperature data from a temperature probe indicative of an external environment of the imaging system and receives the first IR image data from the first IR imaging device. The computing device determines background temperature data based upon the first IR image data, determines gas temperature data based upon the probe temperature data, and determines a thermal contrast for each pixel based upon a comparison between the background temperature data and the gas temperature data. The computing device further determines a detection limit for each pixel as a function of thermal contrast.

A method for manufacturing a detection device includes steps of: producing thermal detectors distributed in a detection array and a compensation array using mineral sacrificial layers; producing an encapsulation structure comprising a thin opaque layer extending above the compensation array; partially removing the mineral sacrificial layers by chemical etching, so as to release the detection array and the compensation array, and to obtain the peripheral wall then formed of a non-etched portion of the mineral sacrificial layers and surrounding the compensation array, the thin opaque layer then being suspended above the compensation array and resting on the peripheral wall.

An infrared temperature measurement method, apparatus, device, and storage medium, which relate to the field of image processing is disclosed. The method comprises: determining a measurement temperature of a to-be-measured target based on a grayscale image captured to obtain a first measurement temperature; determining key point coordinates of the target based on a target image; determining a first distance based on the key point coordinates and configuration information of an infrared temperature measurement device, the first distance is a distance between the target and the infrared temperature measurement device; determining an actual temperature of the target based on the first measurement temperature and the first distance. In this way, the target image ranging and grayscale image temperature measurement can be combined, which not only reduces the influence of distance on the measurement temperature, but also avoids the problem of inaccurate measurement temperature when the distance does not meet the requirements.
