The target wheel and hence targets sit at room temperature. When an imaging sensor views the target (which has a cutout pattern on it) from the front, the sensor sees the cutout areas at the temperature of the blackbody (above or below room temp) surrounded by room temperature structure. By measuring the sensor's response in frequency and amplitude to the various sizes, patterns, and orientations of targets (there are 16 of them on the big wheel we're buying) over a specific range of differential temperatures, an accurate, quantitative, repeatable characterization of sensor performance can be made.
