Mathematical Model for the Emission Infrared Tomography of the Temperature Field in an Isotropic Layer

Abstract

We consider a mathematical model for the determination of the temperature field in a layer that emits, absorbs, and scatters infrared radiation both in the volume and on the surface. Within the framework of the model, we formulate nonlinear direct and inverse problems of emission infrared tomography of the temperature field in the layer according to known space-and-angular distributions of the flows of infrared radiation emitted into the ambient medium. The iterative-variational methods are proposed for the solution of the indicated direct and inverse problems. As a specific example, we perform the numerical analysis of the developed algorithms.
