Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infrared thermography (IRT), a pivotal non-destructive testing/evaluation (NDT/E) technique, has seen significant advancements in signal processing, thermal imaging, and numerical modeling. Over the past five decades, IRT has transcended its initial applications to become an indispensable tool in fields ranging from engineering and biomedicine to cultural heritage preservation.
This Special Issue of Applied Sciences is dedicated to showcasing the recent progress and applications of IRT, reflecting the dynamic evolution of this technology. The aim is to attract manuscripts that not only demonstrate the technical prowess of IRT but also highlight its practical impact on scientific and industrial communities. We seek research that bridges the gap between theoretical advancements and real-world applications, fostering a deeper understanding of IRT's potential. We invite researchers, engineers, and practitioners to contribute their insights and findings to this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Wontae Kim

Manuscript Submission Information
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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
