Aiming at the problems that calibration target for visible camera is not suitable for thermal infrared camera,the infrared radiation theory and the principle of thermal infrared camera detection are studied.Emissivity and solar radiation absorptivity are taken as the parameters of thermal infrared camera calibration target selection.The black aluminum oxide and electroless nickel-aluminum are obtained by various material tests.The two materials have light weight,and the thermal infrared images are clear and have obvious DN value difference,which can meet the requirements of the calibration procedure to extract the target intersection points.The research results provide an important reference for target materials selection of thermal infrared lens distortion correction,and promote the development of aerial array infrared remote sensing technology.
