Review: Process imaging is used to visualise events inside industrial processes. These events could, for example, be the mixing of two component materials of a chemical reaction. The image capture process can be conventional (e.g. direct from CCD camera), reconstructed (e.g. tomographic imaging) or abstract (e.g. sensor data displayed as an image). This book provides an overview or recent progress from academics and industrial workers in the field. There are chapters on: process modelling; direct imaging technology; process tomography; image processing and features extraction; state estimation; control systems; imaging diagnosis for combustion control; multiphase flow measurements; applications in the chemical process industry; mineral and material processing; and applications in the metals production industry
