Infrared thermography has been widely used in various domains to measure the temperature distributions of objects and surfaces. The methodology can be further extended to 3D applications if the spatial information of the temperature distribution is available. This paper proposes a 3D infrared imaging approach based on silhouette volume intersection to reconstruct volumetric temperature data of enclosed objects. 3D IR images are taken from various angles and integrated with 2D RGB images to effectively reconstruct a 3D model of the object's temperature distributions. Various automatic thresholding methods are also compared and evaluated by reprojection scoring to systematically assess the effectiveness and accuracy of the different approaches. Experiment results have demonstrated the ability of the system to provide an estimate to the 3D location of an internal heat source from images taken externally.

Silicon is a non-essential element for plants and is available in biota as silicic acid. Its presence has been associated with a general improvement of plant vigour and response to exogenous stresses. Plants accumulate silicon in their tissues as amorphous silica and cell walls are preferential sites. While several papers have been published on the mitigatory effects that silicon has on plants under stress, there has been less research on imaging silicon in plant tissues. Imaging offers important complementary results to molecular data, since it provides spatial information. Herein, the focus is on histochemistry coupled to optical microscopy, fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy of microwave acid extracted plant silica, techniques based on particle-induced X-ray emission, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and mass spectrometry imaging (NanoSIMS). Sample preparation procedures will not be discussed in detail, as several reviews have already treated this subject extensively. We focus instead on the information that each technique provides by offering, for each imaging approach, examples from both silicifiers (giant horsetail and rice) and non-accumulators (Cannabis sativa L.).

The dynamical interactions caused by a line heat source moving inside a homogeneous isotropic thermo-microstretch viscoelastic half space, whose surface is subjected to a thermal load, are investigated. The formulation is in the context of generalized thermoelasticity theories proposed by Lord and Shulman (J. Mech. Phys. Solid, 15, 299 (1967)) and Green and Lindsay (Thermoelasticity, J. Elasticity, 2, 1 (1972)). The surface is assumed to be traction free. The solutions in terms of displacement components, mechanical stresses, temperature, couple stress, and microstress distribution are procured by employing the normal mode analysis. The numerical estimates of the considered variables are obtained for an aluminium–epoxy material. The results obtained are demonstrated graphically to show the effect of moving heat source and viscosity on the displacement, stresses, and temperature distribution.
