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. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized. For more information on submitting visit our Instructions for Authors page.

The journal's website is authoritative for fees; sources were observed at different times and each keeps its own value, without averaging.

Excerpts are quoted from the journal's website; "model summary" lines are written by Workers AI and checked against the text. The journal's website is authoritative.
