QIRT2020: 15th Quantitative InfraRed Thermography Conference Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto Porto, Portugal, July 6-10, 2020

The biannual Quantitative InfraRed Thermography (QIRT) Conference is a meeting of the scientific and industrial community interested and actively working in research, application and technology related to infrared thermography.
All conference topics are intended to quantitative results comprising temperature values as well as further parameters on the tested materials and structures. The latter ones are usually obtained through active thermography, e. g. by exploiting non-stationary heat transfer processes activated by additional heat sources or by considering wavelength dependent effects.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome (but will not be limited to):

• State-of-the-art and evolution in the field of infrared scanners and imaging systems allowing quantitative measurements, and related data acquisition and processing systems.
• Calibration and characterization of infrared cameras and related topics like certification, standardization, validation, emissivity determination, absorption in media, translucent media, spurious radiations, three dimensionalities of observed objects.
• Characterization of optical and further heat sources for active thermography.
• Analytical and numerical modelling, data reduction and image processing related to infrared thermography.
• Application of infrared thermography to radiometry, thermometry, and physical parameters identification and quantification, in all fields: fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, structures and material sciences, non-destructive evaluations, electromagnetism, medicine and biomedical sciences, remote sensing, environment monitoring, industrial processes and other.

• Full papers describing original research on those or any other relevant areas are welcome.
• Posters describing recent developments on those or any other relevant areas are welcome.
