Quantitative InfraRed Thermography Journal

Aims & Scope

The Quantitative InfraRed Thermography Journal (QIRT) provides a forum for industry and academia to discuss the latest developments of instrumentation, theoretical and experimental practices, data reduction, and image processing related to infrared thermography.

We welcome papers that explore: -State-of-the-art and evolution in the field of infrared scanners and imaging systems allowing quantitative measurements, and related data acquisition and storing systems. -Calibration and characterization of infrared cameras and related problems like certification, standardization, emissivity determination, absorption in media, spurious radiations, three dimensionality of observed objects. -Data reduction and image processing related to infrared thermography. -Application of infrared thermography to radiometry, thermometry, and physical parameters identification that cover fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, structures and material sciences, non-destructive evaluations, electromagnetism, medicine and biomedical science, remote sensing, environment, and industrial processes. -Concurrent thermographic techniques when they present comparative evaluations including infrared thermography.
