Abstract
Liquid crystal thermography is a high-resolution, non-intrusive optical technique for full-field temperature measurement. We present the detailed calibration data for the thermochromic liquid crystal (TLC) with a useful range of 41-60 \circ C. The calibration is done with true color image processing by using an isothermal calibrator. The hue-temperature curve of the TLC is obtained, and the measurement uncertainty is analyzed. Combined with the image noise reduction technique of a 5×5 median filter, the measurement accuracy of the liquid crystal thermography can be significantly improved by approximately 57.1%.
