Temperature is an important feature of infrared targets. However, due to the attenuation and distortion parameters in radiation transmission process are unknown, precise temperature measurement is a difficult task. In this paper, a modified Dual-Band Ratio (DBR) temperature measurement method for remote target is proposed. The method is based on a new presented variation derived from the temperature change process named Dual-Band Differential Ratio (DBDR). Firstly, the temperature of the target is estimated by the traditional DBR method, and then a correction using DBDR information is carried out to improve the measurement accuracy. Experiment results showed that the proposed method can improve the temperature measurement accuracy and it could also be carried out without any prior information about the target.
