Topics of interest for the International Conference on QIRT 2002 are as fol low:

• 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 for radiometry, thermometry, and thermal parame ters identification, in all fields: fluid mechanics, material sciences, structures and material non destructive evaluations, medicine and biommedical science, remote sensing, environ ment, industrial processes...

Dates of QIRT 2002: 23-27 September 2002
