The Quantitative Infrared Thermography (QIRT) International Journal is an international forum, which brings together specialists from industry and academia, who share an active interest in the latest developments of instrumentation, theoretical and experimental practices, data reduction and image processing related to infrared thermography. The QIRT International Journal emphasises the following topics: 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 thermal parameters identification, in all fields: fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, structures and material sciences, non-destructive evaluations,electromagnetism, medicine and biomedical science, remote sensing, environment, industrial processes. The QIRT International Journal also welcome papers on concurrent thermographic techniques when they present comparative evaluations including infrared thermography.
