Infrared Technological Innovations and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Recent developments in infrared detectors, combined with advances in microprocessors and image and signal processing have resulted in powerful tools for diagnosis and monitoring in a broad range of scientific, engineering, and medical fields. As the cost of infrared detectors has become lower, their effectiveness and popularity have increased, facilitating dynamic and static temperature analyses with a very high level of accuracy.  

The submission of articles concerning the integration of infrared detectors with microprocessors and software to produce effective diagnostic and monitoring tools, approaches that utilise infrared detectors to improve operations and processes, techniques to improve the quality of infrared signals and images, data fusion and registration, the integration of infrared sensors into the Internet of Things and cloud computing, remote sensing, and security issues (e.g., facial recognition) are most welcome.    

We cordially invite you to submit your paper to this Special Issue of the Healthcare journal, which aims to bring together the latest technological developments and applications in infrared sensing, with a particular focus on the medical field.

Prof. Dr. Reza Saatchi
