Abstract
A new method of image reconstruction for active, pulse thermography is presented. Based on experimental results the thermal model of the observed object is proposed. Studies on thermal transients basing on the FEM object model are presented. Examples of reconstructed images are presented and described for phantoms and for in-vivo measurements. Possible applications are discussed.
