Scope & topics.
QIRT Asia 2027 welcomes original, unpublished contributions on all aspects of quantitative infrared thermography. Submissions should align with one or more of the conference's nine tracks, which span measurement science, applications, computation, and industrial practice.
Interdisciplinary and cross‑track submissions are strongly encouraged, particularly those combining thermography with adjacent disciplines — machine learning, computational imaging, photonics, materials characterisation, or clinical diagnostics.
- Artificial Intelligence — machine learning and deep learning for thermal image analysis
- Image & Signal Processing — advanced processing, reconstruction and inversion methods
- Calibration & Metrology — traceable calibration and measurement uncertainty
- Thermophysics & Photothermal Methods — photothermal radiometry and property characterisation
- Heat Transfer & Fluid Dynamics — heat transfer diagnostics and flow visualisation
- Non‑Destructive Testing & Evaluation — active and passive thermographic NDT
- Biomedical Applications — clinical thermography and physiological thermal imaging
- Industrial Applications — process monitoring, quality control and Industry 4.0
- Energy Systems & Nuclear Applications — power infrastructure inspection and renewable energy diagnostics

Preferred presentation type
Indicate your preferred format at submission — oral, poster, or either. The programme committee will make final allocations based on thematic fit, scientific merit, and session balance.
Review process.
All presentations are evaluated by the QIRT Asia Steering Committee, drawing on double-blind peer review by at least two members of the technical programme committee. Reviewers are drawn from the international QIRT community and matched to submissions by expertise.
Authors are asked to prepare anonymised submissions — omitting names, affiliations and self-identifying references from the PDF. Identifying metadata is handled separately by the submission system.
Decision timeline
- Abstract submission: 1 Jun — 15 Oct 2026
- Peer review: 16 Oct — 20 Nov 2026
- Notification of acceptance: 25 Nov 2026
- Full paper or two-page extended abstract due: 10 Jan 2027
Full paper.
Accepted authors are invited to submit either a full paper (4–6 pages) or a two‑page extended abstract by 10 January 2027, for inclusion in the conference proceedings. Both formats are optional for presentation but required for indexed proceedings.
A LaTeX class and Word template are provided on the submission portal. Papers must adhere to the QIRT formatting standards to be eligible for the special issue.
Proceedings & special issue.
Accepted contributions are published in the QIRT Open Archives, indexed by Google Scholar, with an ISBN and DOI assignment per paper. Selected high‑quality papers may be invited for submission to the Quantitative InfraRed Thermography Journal (Taylor & Francis), subject to a second round of peer review.
Awards.
Two awards recognise outstanding contributions to the conference programme:
- Best Young Researcher Presentation Award — celebrating outstanding early‑career talent, this award honours the most impactful conference presentation by a researcher within 10 years of completing their PhD.
- Best Student Paper Award — awarded to the best paper with a student as the primary and presenting author. Students must indicate eligibility at the time of submission.
Ethics & policy.
By submitting, authors confirm that the work is original, has not been published elsewhere, and is not concurrently under review at another venue. At least one author of each accepted contribution must register and present the work at the conference.
Submissions involving human subjects, animals, or clinical data must demonstrate appropriate ethical approval. The programme committee reserves the right to reject submissions that do not comply with these standards.
