How can make a thermal spectrume from hot-furnace?

Hi We have an very hot hot-furnace (1200) with bar inside it, we want make an thermal spectrume of furnace with picture of inside it, but i dont know how? what camera is require? how can process image? is it possible find real temperature of bar inside furnace? please help me, becuase i am new comming in image processing and computer vision. Best regards.

I'm not sure if you have found your answer yet. There are several companies that make camera which look into furnaces. They compose primarily high temperature cameras with a special cooling and purging system designed by a third party.

Examples would be More\Daniele, Connors, RHI, and Superior\Metallurgical Sensors This is just to name a few.

All have automation engineers that can give you the feedback\data from their systems to use however needed. Many sell modules to understand furnace conditions as a package.

Temperature and pressure are common feedbacks for furnaces. The important item is selecting the right technology to avoid a maintenance nightmare, so spend time analyzing which system is best for you.

I hope this helps; Gary

Thanks alot Mr gary,according my previous comment, i am new comming in image processing,I though that we can use ordinary image for themral image processing, i think this is not exactly related to matlab, but i have so many question, how can i ask from you? please give me an email or skype id for this porpuse, thanks alot.

Not sure what you mean by a "ordinary image" but you need a thermal image, where the gray level corresponds to the temperature. This is not what you get from a regular point and shoot camera, mobile phone camera, or DSLR camera, not even one that is infrared enabled/capable. You need a thermal camera, for example, manufactured by companies like FLIR.

Thank you so much Image Analyst, but i dont have enough money pay for it, in my idea i think i can use optoTransistor for detect related infrared wave in range between 1000 to 1200,and process this signal as thermal processing, i am searching to use chipest way for this purpose, can you help me?

I don't think that device can produce a thermal image. I'm not sure what device it is exactly. Do you have a spec sheet link for it? The cheapest thermal cameras are thousands of dollars. You can get one for $995 but it's resolution is only 60 by 80 pixels and I don't know if that produces an image that can be exported off the device onto an SD card or flash drive, and it can't be exported outside the USA.

Hi Image analyst, excuse me for my delay, in my idea, acoording the image thermal camera structure, we can use photo trnasistor in this field of radiation just to detect the special wavelenth of radiation not a wide range, i am searching about this transistor product to find it and exame it, please help me if you have idea to improve my approach. Thanks alot.
