A temperature measurement calibration method without interference of a shutter of a thermal imaging module comprises steps: at a temperature of a core chip of a thermal imaging module, obtaining a response value generated by measuring a blackbody temperature after the shutter is started at a frame time; performing a linear regression analysis of the response value to obtain a correction response value equation; inputting the response value into the correction response value equation; and obtaining a correction response value of measuring the blackbody temperature.

An apparatus for accurate measurement of surface and sub-surface temperatures of an object from a distance without contacting the object is provided. Illustrative embodiments provide for simultaneous measurement of thermal emission and emissivity in the mm-wave regime thereby enabling real-time non-contact measurement of emissivity. Corrected temperatures for the object which may be used for calibration of infrared thermographic cameras are determined from the measurement of emissivity.

Methods for linearization of photodetector response include establishing one or more static calibration coefficients based on comparison of test photodetector response to a linear reference photodetector. In some examples, dynamic calibration coefficients are determined based on average photodetector signals. In some applications such as FTIR, linearized ratios are obtained with a single calibration coefficient.
