Abstract
A radiometric camera having internal black body components and a method for calibrating a radiometric camera having internal black body components. A radiometric camera includes a detector, the detector further including a thermal detector configured to capture thermal images, wherein the thermal detector is pointed in a direction, wherein the radiometric camera is adapted to receive at least one black body element in front of the detector with respect to the direction of the thermal detector, the thermal detector having a plurality of portions including at least one first portion, wherein the at least one black body element affects radiation readings by the at least one first portion of a plurality of portions of the thermal detector when disposed in the radiometric camera.
