Gas cloud imaging with uncooled infrared spectroscopy is influenced by ambient temperature, complicating the quantitative detection of gas concentrations in open environments. To solve the aforementioned challenges, the paper analyzes the main factors influencing detection errors in uncooled infrared spectroscopy gas cloud imaging and proposes a temperature correction method to address them. Firstly, to mitigate the environmental effects on the radiative temperature output of uncooled infrared detectors, a snapshot-based, multi-band infrared temperature compensation algorithm incorporating environmental awareness was developed.

Detecting extremely low light signals is the basis of many scientific experiments and measurement techniques. For many years, a high-voltage photomultiplier has been the only practical device used in the visible and infrared spectral range. However, such a solution is subject to several inconveniences, including high production costs, the requirements of a supply voltage of several hundred volts, and a high susceptibility to mechanical damage.
