Abstract
For reliable tomographic measurements the underlying 2D images from different viewing angles must be matched in terms of signal detection characteristics. Non-linearity effects introduced by intensified cameras and spatial intensity variations induced from inhomogeneous transmission of the optical setup can lead, if not corrected, to a biased tomographic reconstruction result. This paper presents a complete correction procedure consisting of a combination of a non-linearity and flatfield correction for a tomographic optical setup employing imaging fiber bundles and four intensified cameras. Influencing parameters on the camera non-linearity are investigated and discussed. The correction procedure is applied to 3D temperature measurements by two-color pyrometry and compared to results without correction. The present paper may serve as a guideline for an appropriate correction procedure for any type of measurement involving optical tomography and intensified cameras.
