For example, the rate measurement unit 120 may measure the ratio of the slag and the molten iron to obtain the image of the blast furnace output precursors 10 and analyze the images.
[22]
Correction section 130 may generate the final temperature value by applying a correction temperature value corresponding to the ratio determined by the ratio measurement unit 120, the temperature value measured by the temperature measurement unit 110. The
[23]
There are characterized in that temperature values ​​measured by the temperature measurement section 110 differ from the actual temperature according to the ratio of the slag and the molten iron, the correction section 130 is measured by the by correcting these characteristics, a temperature measurer 110 the actual temperature than the temperature value can produce a closer final temperature value. Accordingly, the temperature of the blast furnace output precursor 10 can be accurately measured.
[24]
Figure 2 is a view showing a distribution of radiation energy can be a temperature measurement unit measuring, radiant energy (E according to the wavelength (λ) of a black body (Blackbody) of the specific temperature (T) λ a, b (λ, T)) radiation (E according to the wavelength (λ) of the physical surface of a certain temperature (T) (real surface) λ shows a (λ, T)).
[25]
Here, the radiation energy (E real surface of λ (λ, T)) is a radiation energy (E a black body λ can be defined as the product of a, b (λ, T)) and the emissivity (ελ).
[26]
The double-wavelength thermometer emissivity is set is the radiation energy (E a first wavelength (λ1) at a particular temperature λ1 ) and radiation (E of the second wavelength (λ2) λ2 corresponding to the difference between the measured), two radiation a temperature value that can be generated. Here, the relationship between the difference value and the temperature value is Stefan-Boltzmann's law may be set depending on the.
[27]
This can be generalized to Equation 1 below. Here, the value obtained by dividing in the radiation coefficient (ε1) of the first wavelength (λ1) to a radiation coefficient (ε2) of the second wavelength (λ2) may be defined as the ratio of radiation coefficient.
[28]
[Formula 1]

[29]
A temperature measuring unit therefore Ex precursor of the first and second wavelength radiation (E λ1 , E λ2 ) for measurement, and the first and second wavelength radiation (E λ1 , E λ2 ) temperature by applying a reference radiation coefficient ratio on It may generate a value. For example, the temperature measuring section may set the radiation coefficient ratio when the ratio of molten iron and slag in the furnace output pioneering the reference rate ratio based on the radiation coefficient.
[30]
On the other hand, the proportion of the slag from the blast furnace output chulseon initial precursor may be greater than the proportion of slag in chulseon end. Therefore, the reference ratio can be set as a percentage of the average of the blast furnace slag when the chulseon Ex precursor medium conducted.
[31]
Figure 3 is a view showing a wavelength-specific emissivity characteristics of the slag and molten iron, showing a radiation coefficient (Emissivity) according to each wavelength (Wavelength) slag (slag) and molten iron (Steel).
[32]
Here, the radiation coefficient of the slag can not be substantially influenced by the wavelength, the radiation coefficient of the molten iron may be subject to relatively significant impact from the wavelength. That is, the radiation coefficient ratio of the slag, but can be close to 1, the non-emissivity of the molten iron may be close to 1.
[33]
Therefore, the equation (1) can be expressed by Equation 2 below in accordance with the reflection of the radiation coefficient of the radiation rate of the slag and molten iron. Here, m is the coefficient of radiant heat of the molten iron, and the emissivity εs is the slag, Am is the area ratio of the molten iron, As is an area ratio of the slag, and the sum of the area ratio of the molten iron and slag, the area ratio is 1.
[34]
[Formula 2]

[35]
Figure 4 is a view showing an emissivity ratio of the rate of slag and molten iron, showing the overall emissivity ratio (e-Slope) according to the ratio of the slag (Slag Ratio).
[36]
Full emissivity ratio is higher the percentage of slag may be closer to 1 emissivity ratio of the slag.
[37]
Figure 5 is a chart showing the temperature error value according to the ratio of the slag and molten iron, showing a temperature error value (Temp. Difference) according to the ratio of the slag (Slag Ratio).
[38]
Here, the reference radiation rate ratio set in the temperature measuring section may be assumed the ratio of the radiation coefficient when the ratio of the slag 40%.
[39]
For example, the ratio of each of the slag can correspond to the temperature error value. Correction unit is able to generate a negative correction of the temperature value of the temperature error value corresponding to the ratio determined by the ratio measurement section.
[40]
For example, the correction unit is the ratio of the slag measured by the ratio measurement section larger than the standard ratio can generate a large correction temperature value, the ratio of the slag measured by the ratio measurement section smaller than the reference ratio It may generate a small correction temperature value.
[41]
6 is a view showing parts of the ratio measurement.

Image may be divided into regions and the area above the reference line 3 between the lower area of ​​the first reference line and the reference line and the first region and the reference line between reference line 22 and reference line 3. The controller larger the difference between the ratio of the dark area in the corner area of ​​the baseline ratio and the dark region in the area below the reference line 13 may move a lot of the shooting range of the camera.
[52]
On the other hand, the reference line first to third reference line may be set based on the analysis result of the image processing unit. For example, the reference lines 1 to 3 is a reference line may be set based on the overall position of the interface between the slag or molten iron and the background in the image. Then, the second reference line may be set to the center line of the base line from 1 to 3 baseline. The second reference line can be used in the analysis region setting below.
[53]
Figure 9 is a chart showing an analysis area in the acquired image of the camera, showing one example of the analysis region is set in one example, and the image of the video.
[54]
