Abstract
Although in-house calibration is a labour-intensive task, it has many benefits of customizing the detection/temperature ranges and other parameters, suitable to a particular application. This report explains steps of undertaking in-house calibration for MWIR cameras, like FLIR A8303sc. This procedure is generalizable for other IR cameras with user calibration feature. We elaborate on all steps that we need to do for an accurate calibration. Our results of calibration have been investigated quantitatively and qualitatively in this report using comparing with actual temperature obtained from full-scale room fire tests. Also, our in-house calibrated camera was sent for the factory, and the evaluation report revealed that our calibration accuracy was in the standard tolerance range of the camera in each temperature range.
