It is observed that the thermal imager's internal radiation clearly influences the accuracy of the temperature measurement. This paper introduces an evaluation model for the temperature measurement accuracy of a fever-screening thermograph and its main parameters. By analyzing the relationship between these parameters and the thermal imager noise, the blackbody reference source, and the environment, the temporal and spatial low-frequency noise of the thermal imager are found to be the key factors affecting the accuracy of the temperature measurement. Moreover, the influence of temporal low-frequency noise can be eliminated using a blackbody reference source, and the influence of spatial low-frequency noise can be eliminated using the two-point correction method based on an external shutter. Thus, the fever-screening thermograph can meet the accuracy requirements of human body temperature measurement.
