Abstract
A radiometer for measuring temperature data can include a data reader for reading target data associated with a measurement target and generating temperature data based on the target data. A temperature compensation system can include a radiometer with a data reader and one or more data tags placed proximate corresponding measurement targets. The data tags can contain target data including a target identifier and/or compensation data, among other data. The compensation data can include, for example, a target emissivity. In some embodiments the data reader can include an optical scanning device and/or an RFID reader.

10. A noncontact temperature-measuring system comprising:
-
a radiometer including an infrared detector, an optical system adapted to collect infrared radiation from a target and image it onto the infrared detector, and a processor coupled to the infrared detector, the processor programmed to generate temperature data based on the infrared radiation; a data tag comprising target data corresponding to the target; and a data reader external to and coupled with the radiometer, the data reader adapted to read the target data from the data tag and communicate the target data to the radiometer, wherein the processor of the radiometer is further programmed to generate the temperature data based on the target data. - View Dependent Claims (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
