Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infrared thermography can be used for many different purposes in a broad number of application fields. Basically, any temperature-dependent process may benefit from the use of an infrared imaging device. Its main advantage resides in its remote and non-contact deployment, which preserves both the part under inspection, from any surface alteration, and the operator, from any safety at work concern. Despite being on the market for so long time and despite the broad literature about, infrared thermography is still not adequately exploited. Yet, there are some sectors that could benefit from its introduction in the industrial enterprise, but cannot because of a lack of knowledge, or of the necessary expertise. The intent of this Special Issue is to collect the experiences of leading scientists, and also to be an assessment tool for people who are new to the world of infrared thermography. This Special Issue is intended to cover all aspects of infrared thermography and all possible applications. Indeed, any work concerned with the use of an infrared imaging device, as well development of new application procedures and/or treatment of thermal images, may fall within the scope of this Special Issue. Papers may present novel results, or advancement of previously published data. Of particular interest, are papers dealing with testing procedures, protocols, or post-processing methods and data treatment, as well with integrated techniques.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Methods and Protocols is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
