Abstract
A method of monitoring the temperature of a target (4), the method comprising: PA1 a) sensing radiation emitted by the target (4) at at least two different wavelengths; PA1 b) determining a temperature value from the sensed radiation in accordance with a first predetermined algorithm; PA1 c) repeating steps a) and b) a number of times to generate a set of temperature values; PA1 d) selecting a target temperature from the set of temperature values in accordance with a second predetermined algorithm; and, PA1 e) generating an output signal defining the target temperature obtained in step d).
