- Research Interests
- Remote Sensing, Thermal radiometry, Thermal imaging, Physics modeling, Image exploitation
Job Responsibilities
- Details
- Model the radiometry of mechanical draft cooling towers (MDCT) at longwave infrared wavelengths to help determine their temperature from thermal imagery. This involves modeling the radiometric environment in and around the cooling tower and using these physics-based models to predict the temperature of the towers. These predicted temperatures are compared to temperatures that are extraction from a thermal image of the cooling towers.
