“…It is effective in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) range (3-5 µm) and the long-wave infrared (LWIR) range (8-12 µm). This method finds applications in diverse fields, including process monitoring, condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, structural health monitoring, medical imaging, building thermal efficiency assessments, process monitoring, forest fire detection, road traffic monitoring, agriculture, biological sciences, and more [18,52,[64][65][66][67]. However, passive thermography is limited in NDT&E applications where a substantial natural thermal contrast is required.…”
