Neither the single point measurement nor the multi-point measurement, but the over-all measurement of the whole spatial distribution, or the so-called pattern, of temperature is treated in this paper. A number of examples ever reported are critically surveyed and systematically classified. The significance of such pattern measurements in industry is pointed out, a concept of the optimum temperature pattern is discussed and several methods of evaluating the fittedness of the measured pattern to the optimum are developed. Two experimental measurements of temperature pattern of 1) a rotary kiln in a cement plant, by means of Noctovision technique and photographic densitometry, and 2) inside of some electronical circuitry and surface of some electrical iron, by means of an infrared scanning camera, are reported with many, valuable informations on the performances of the measured objects as well as of the measuring instruments.
