About this Research Topic
As an interdisciplinary and cross-application field of general practical technology, infrared imaging is an effective alternative and supplement to traditional nondestructive testing techniques. Infrared imaging is a non-destructive testing approach based on the principle of infrared thermal radiation, which can analyze the surface and internal defects or structures of the specimen by scanning, recording, or observing the temperature changes of the detected surface. Compared with traditional NDT&E, infrared thermal-wave imaging has the advantages of fast measurement speed, large detection area, and easy automation. Meanwhile, the issue of photothermal radiation transfer has become a common fundamental issue and key technological link in the field of aerospace technology. The technology of rapid and accurate identification of target photothermal radiation characteristic parameters plays a key role with basic support and frontier leading in promoting the innovative development of aerospace technology field.
