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.

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...
