Infrared thermography is a field of technology dealing with the detection, recording, processing, and visualization of invisible infrared radiation emitted by an object. Its result is an image (thermogram) that represents the temperature distribution on the surface of the examined object. Non-destructive testing methods using infrared thermography can be divided into passive and active. The article presents examples of the application of infrared thermography, using both passive and active methods, for vehicle diagnostics. These methods allow for the detection of malfunctioning components and assemblies in a vehicle, as well as damage resulting from vehicle operation and the production phase (corrosion sites, mechanical damage, etc.).Infrared thermography is a field of technology dealing with the detection, recording, processing, and visualization of invisible infrared radiation emitted by an object. Its result is an image (thermogram) that represents the temperature distribution on the surface of the examined object [1]. It should be noted that all solids, liquids, and gases with a temperature above absolute zero (0 K) emit infrared radiation. (…)
