About Infrared Thermography
Scope of the Conference
Infrared Thermography (IRT) is an advanced Non Destructive Evaluation
method, where the surface temperature of the object is mapped by detecting the
IR radiation emitted by them. IRT started as a qualitative tool in electrical and
process industry for condition monitoring. Advances in sensors, electronics,
instrumentation including signal and image processing saw the transformation of
this method to a quantitative one. Today IR imaging is one of those few NDE
methods that has applications cutting across all industries, research and society,
ranging from astronomy, military, medical, energy audit, surveillance, condition
monitoring and materials characterization.

Previously QIRT conferences have been held in Paris (1992), Sorrento (1994),
Stuttgart (1996), Lodz (1998), Reims (2000), Dubrovnik (2002), Brussels (2004),
Padova (2006), Krakow (2008), Québec City (2010), Naples (2012) and Bordeaux
(2014). With the growing interest in this field and the growing number of
attendees particularly coming from Asian countries, the QIRT Council has started
a sister conference series called QIRT Asia. The first Quantitative InfraRed
Thermography Asia Conference, (QIRT
(QIRT‐Asia
Asia 2015) will take place during
July 6‐10, 2015, Mahabalipuram, (near Chennai) India.
