Abstract

The smoke is an effective camouflage method and is widely used in the modern battlefields.
The smoke chamber test is used quantitatively to extinct the energies of the smoke material. In
the smoke chamber test, a key problem is to accurately measure the transmissivity of the smoke.
In this paper, the relationship between the temperatures measured and the radiation received by
the thermal imager has been disussed. The equation to accurately calculate the infrared
transmissivity of the smoke from the measured temperature is deduced. This equation is also
compared with the simplified one.
