emissivity mapping of the earth’s surface is the prerequisite to thermal remote sensing. a precise determinationof a surface's temperature is dependent upon the availability of precise emissivity data for that surface. the presentstudy area is a part of sugarcane plantation fields in the west part of khuzestan province. in this work, temperatureemissivity separation algorithm (tes) was applied ...

Infrared cameras are becoming increasingly popular in clinics. Current practices, however, often overlook the importance of emissivity when taking thermal measurements. The consensus is that human skin has an emissivity of 0.98, but this varies between individuals, areas examined and whether the skin is damaged. This research investigated the emissivity variation of chronic wounds and its effec...

A facile and non-distractive method for estimating thermal emissivity of solid polymers based on ATR-FT-IR method was newly developed. This method is applicable to thick and nontransparent samples without using blackbody furnace. The thermal emissivity estimated by this method is consistent with the reference values obtained using blackbody furnace. The ATR-IR method enables to estimate thermal...

High-resolution visible remote sensing imagery and thermal infrared hyperspectral imagery are potential data sources for land-cover classification. In this paper, in order to make full use of these two types of imagery, a spatial-spectral-emissivity land-cover classification method based on the fusion of visible and thermal infrared hyperspectral imagery is proposed, namely, SSECRF (spatial-spe...

In this article, a time dependent partial differential equation is used to model the nonlinear boundary value problem describing heat transfer through a radial porous moving fin with rectangular profile. The study is performed by applying a numerical solver in MATLAB (pdepe), which is a centered finite difference scheme. The thermal conductivity and fin surface emissivity are linearly ...

Precise control of a material's emissivity is critical for thermal-engineering applications. Metamaterials, which derive their optical properties from sub-wavelength structures, have emerged as a promising way to tune emissivity over a wide parameter space. However, metamaterial designs have not yet achieved simultaneous spatial and temporal control of emissivity, which is important for advance...

Programmable thermal emissivity structures based on the bioinspired self-shape anisotropic materials were developed at macro-scale, and further studied theoretically at smaller scale. We study a novel concept, incorporating materials that are capable of transforming their shape via microstructural rearrangements under temperature stimuli, while avoiding the use of exotic shape memory materials ...

In the inversion of land surface temperature (LST) from satellite data, obtaining the information on land surface emissivity is most challenging. How to solve both the emissivity and the LST from the underdetermined equations for thermal infrared radiation is a hot research topic related to quantitative thermal infrared remote sensing. The academic research and practical applications based on t...

In this Letter we demonstrate, for the first time, selective thermal emitters based on metamaterial perfect absorbers. We experimentally realize a narrow band midinfrared (MIR) thermal emitter. Multiple metamaterial sublattices further permit construction of a dual-band MIR emitter. By performing both emissivity and absorptivity measurements, we find that emissivity and absorptivity agree very ...
