Preliminary investigation of thermal hartmann wavefront sensing

We present a novel technique for thermal imaging in capitalisation on the Hartmann wavefront sensing technology for purposes of 3-D sensing. The issues of reflection induced noises, diffuse nature of thermal radiation, and directionality of emissivity, which might affect the results of thermal Hartmann wavefront sensing, are also discussed.
