Real-Time Sensor for Measuring the Surface Temperature of Thermal Protection Structures Based on the Full-Time Domain Temperature Inversion Method by Yuhao Liu, Xiong Zhao, Xiangyu Wei, Pengyu Nan, Fan Zhou, Guoguo Xin, Kok-Sing Lim, Yupeng Zhang, Hangzhou Yang

“…The mean relative error of the inversion temperature decreases exponentially as the window size increases, and the optimal window duration is equal to the thermal hysteresis time. The study investigates the impact of three noise filtering methods on the inversion accuracy, finding that the Savitzky-Golay filtering significantly enhances measurement precision, reducing mean relative error from 18.4% to 6.7%. …”
