I am trying to convert a color image into a temperature image. At first, created a colormap for the image. then specifying the temperature for each color. What should I do next? Can anyone please help me maybe with a fresh guideline of how to do that?

What I have tried:

C++
class Color
{
  
protected:

    int _value;

    // Construction
 
public:

    Color() : Color(0)
    {
    }
    explicit Color(int color) : _value(color)
    {
    }
    explicit Color(unsigned color) : _value((int)color)
    {
    }

    Color& operator=(const Color& them)
    {
        _value = them.value();
        return *this;
    }

    // Public function

    int value() const
    {
        return _value;
    }

    static const Color Black, DarkGray, Gray, LightGray, White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Cyan, Magenta, Transparent;

    int alpha() { return (_value >> 24) & 0xFF; }
    int red()   { return (_value >> 16) & 0xFF; }
    int green() { return (_value >>  8) & 0xFF; }
    int blue()  { return (_value >>  0) & 0xFF; }

    static Color rgb(int red, int green, int blue)
    {
        return argb(0xFF, red, green, blue);
    }
    static Color argb(int alpha, int red, int green, int blue)
    {
        return Color((clipByte(alpha) << 24) | (clipByte(red) << 16) | (clipByte(green) << 8) | clipByte(blue));
    }

    static inline Color rgb(float red, float green, float blue)
    {
        return argb(1.0f, red, green, blue);
    }
    static Color argb(float alpha, float red, float green, float blue)
    {
        return argb(zeroOneToByte(alpha), zeroOneToByte(red), zeroOneToByte(green), zeroOneToByte(blue));
    }

    static Color temperature(float kelvin)
    {
        return rgb(blackBodyRed(kelvin), blackBodyGreen(kelvin), blackBodyBlue(kelvin));
    }

    static inline Color wheelTri(float f)
    {
        return wheel<triWaveUp, triWaveDown>(f);
    }

    static inline Color wheelSin(float f)
    {
        return wheel<sinWaveUp, sinWaveDown>(f);
    }

    // Internal
   
protected:

    typedef float (*PFN)(float);

    template <PFN pfn>
    inline static byte scalePfn(float f, float scale)
    {
        return zeroOneToByte(scale * pfn(f));
    }

    // Color Wheel
   
    // For a given (fractional) angle around the color wheel, returns
    // the color associated therewith. Red is at 0 (and 1); green is at 1/3, and blue is at 2/3.
    
    template <PFN pfnUp, PFN pfnDown>
    static Color wheel(float f)
    {
        constexpr float oneThird = 1.f / 3.f;
        constexpr float twoThirds = 2.f / 3.f;

        // Red appears less intense; we can compensate
        constexpr float redScale = 1.0f;
        constexpr float greenScale = 1.0f;
        constexpr float blueScale = 1.0f;

        f -= floorf(f); // remove integer part

        if (f <= oneThird)
        {
            return Color::rgb(
                scalePfn<pfnDown>((f + oneThird) * threeHalves, redScale),
                scalePfn<pfnUp>(f * threeHalves, greenScale),
                0);
        }
        else if (f <= twoThirds)
        {
            return Color::rgb(
                0,

"What should I do next?"
Try explaining what your problem is and what you need help with.

I searched for display color temperature, which seems to be what this is about, and found this site: How to Convert Temperature (K) to RGB: Algorithm and Sample Code – Tanner Helland (dot) com[^]

Maybe you can find the info you need there. If not, you can always try a search yourself using the keywords 'display color temperature' and maybe something else.

If temperature means thermal to you, you can't.
Because RGB is visible spectrum and Thermal is infrared which is non in visible spectrum.
The problem is that you need a special camera in order to get the infrared picture.

Judging by the code, he's talking about display color temperature which is used to control whether the display appears 'warmer' (more reddish) or colder (more blueish). See e. g. https://www.eizo.be/knowledge/monitor-expertise/color-temperature-on-an-lcd-monitor/

Therefore this is not about converting a color to an actual temperature, but rather applying a filter, where the filter is expressed as a 'temperature' value.

If I have a thermal camera, it can take thermal images but using a normal camera that will take an RGB image and using a colormap, it will convert it to a temperature image.
Below is the colormap for reference:

http://www.vendian.org/mncharity/dir3/blackbody/

For each color, it should be specified what temperature it will use.
