Abstract

Trees are a fundamental living being, crucial in nature, and climate behavior. They are also important resources for wealth and employment. To analyze and support decision making about trees, it is crucial to monitor their health condition, viability, cost-effectiveness, and associated risks. Most inspection techniques of trees condition are invasive and destructive. New expedite, and sustainable technologies for inspection represent a fundamental challenge. This study presented a short review of the literature about Infrared thermography (IRT) applied to trees health inspection. IRT is a non-invasive and non-contact method that can recognize healthy tissues from deteriorated ones. The technology revealed to be efficient, fast, economical, and sustainable. Therefore, it very promising for the analysis and monitoring of tree health condition. However, more studies are still needed to test and consolidate this technology.
