The Quantitative InfraRed Thermography (QIRT) Conference is an international forum that brings together specialists from both industry and academia, sharing a common interest in the latest advances in science, experimental practices, and instrumentation related to infrared thermography. Following previous editions 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), Bordeaux (2014), Gdansk (2016), Berlin (2018), Porto (2020), Paris (2022), and Zagreb (2024), the 18th Quantitative Infrared Thermography Conference (QIRT 2026) will take place from 29 June to 3 July 2026 at the University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy.
QIRT 2026 will cover, and it is not limited to, 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 processing.
➽ Integration of thermographic systems and multispectral analysis. Related problems like: calibration and characterization of infrared cameras; emissivity determination; absorption in media; spurious radiations, 3D measurements; certification and standardization.
➽ Analytical and numerical modeling, data reduction and image processing related to infrared thermography also by AI.
➽ Thermal effects induced e.g. by electromagnetic fields, elastic waves or mechanical stresses.
➽ Application of infrared thermography to radiometry, thermometry, and physical parameters identification and quantification, in all fields: fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, structures and material sciences, nondestructive evaluations, electromagnetism, medicine and biomedical sciences, remote sensing, environment monitoring, industrial processes and other.
