Research on Temperature Distribution Reconstruction of Deflagration Fields via Spectral-Image Fusion

Multispectral temperature measurement technology based on blackbody radiation theory has been widely applied in the field of non-contact temperature measurement. However, its applicability is limited by the single-point measurement mode. To address this limitation, this study developed a spectral fusion temperature measurement device and proposed a new method for reconstructing the two-dimensional temperature field of deflagration fireballs by fusing spectral and imaging data. The device adopts a CCD sensor and a fiber optic spectrometer placed in parallel with parallel optical axes. To ensure the accuracy of the CCD's response characteristics at different distances, the photo-response non-uniformity (PRNU) calculation method was used for precision validation. In this study, spectral and imaging data of deflagration fireballs were obtained through experiments. Spectral data of consecutive frames at 189 ms, 192 ms, 195 ms, and 198 ms were extracted and analyzed, confirming that the temperature range at the four time points is 1050 K to 1800 K. The proposed method generates temperature elements with equal temperature intervals and their probabilities within the temperature range, and calculates the theoretical radiation spectrum of each element. Then, least squares optimization fitting is performed on the experimentally measured spectra to obtain the optimal probabilities of the temperature elements in the temperature field. By combining these optimal probabilities with CCD grayscale images, the 2D temperature distribution of the deflagration fireball was reconstructed. Results show that: the PRNU value of the device at a distance of 9 m is less than 2.2% through experimental verification; fused images of the temperature field spectra of four consecutive frames of the deflagration fireball were obtained using the proposed method. The average temperatures reconstructed by the proposed method at 189 ms, 192 ms, 195 ms, and 198 ms were 1382 K, 1373 K, 1366 K, and 1357 K, respectively, while the corresponding temperatures obtained by conventional spectral inversion were 1430 K, 1422 K, 1414 K, and 1406 K. The relative errors were 3.2%, 3.4%, 3.3%, and 3.4%, respectively, with an average relative error of approximately 3.3%.
