Scope of QIRT04

The Quantitative Infrared Thermography (QIRT) conference is an international forum, which brings together specialists from industry and academia, who share an active interest in the latest developments of instrumentation and experimental practices related to infrared thermography.

Following the conferences in Paris (1992), Sorrento (1994), Stuttgart (1996), Lodtz (1998), Reims (2000) and Dubrovnik (2002), the seventh Quantitative Infrared Thermography conference, QIRT’2004, will take place on July 5-8, 2004 at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics in Rhode Saint Genèse, Belgium.Visit our map of the VKI surroundings.For more information concerning the QIRT in general, consult the QIRT website .

The International Conference QIRT2004 will emphasise 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 storing systems.
  • Calibration and characterization of infrared cameras (mono and multidetector systems).
  • Related problems like certification, standardization, emissivity determination, absorption in media, spurious radiations, three dimensionality of observed objects.
  • Infrared effects induced e.g. by electromagnetic or elastic fields.
  • Application of infrared thermography to radiometry, thermometry, and thermal parameters identification, in all fields: fluid mechanics, material sciences, structures and material non destructive evaluations, medicine and biomedical science, remote sensing, environment, industrial processes...

Pre-conference course

Preceding the conference, the following courses will be organised: A- Basic Thermography, B- Array Detector Systems, C- Application to Fluids, D- Application to Solids. The Courses are scheduled on Monday 5 July, 2004. The tuition is 150 EUR per course including tutorial and lunch. Attendants at two courses pay 250 EUR.
