16th Quantitative InfraRed Thermography conference - 30th anniversary

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. Passive and active thermography methods and technologies are spread now along a multitude of areas of applications, which all profit from each other. The 2022 edition is the opportunity to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the first QIRT conference that was held in Paris in 1992. Since its creation, the conference has been hosted by 8 different countries, involving numerous authors and publications. Due to the growing of the QIRT community, a sister conference series has been created, QIRT-Asia for which the 4th conference will be hold in 2023 in Harbin, China.
