The present invention relates to a fixing apparatus which radiates rays to a detection object and which detects the rays returned from the detection object to obtain a temperature signal. The apparatus specifies a radiant ratio of the surface of the detection object using at least one of accumulated image forming times, detection position, and radiation deterioration, corrects the detected temperature signal based on the specified radiant ratio of the surface of the detection object to produce temperature data, and controls a power to be supplied to a heating mechanism which raises temperature of the detection object based on the produced temperature data.

A fixing apparatus of the present invention includes a heating roller 2 that is a cylindrical member having a center axis, a pressurizing roller 3 that exerts pressure on the heating roller 2, and a temperature detecting element 6 that detects the temperature of the heating roller 2. The outer peripheral surface of the heating roller 2 is induction heated on the basis of the temperature information detected by the temperature detecting element 6. The fixing apparatus thus utilizes induction heating. The present invention is characterized in that the temperature detecting element 6 is placed in an area located vertically below the center axis of the heating member 2 and vertically below the outer peripheral surface of the heating member. The temperature detecting element 6 is thus provided at a position where it is unlikely to suffer thermal convection from the heating roller 2.
