Image analysis for industrial tomography

The measuring instruments for industrial applications must use robust noninvasive sensors which, if required, can operate in aggressive and fast moving fluids and multiphase mixtures. The choice of sensing system and a number of components to obtain information about the process in a pipeline is also presented. The required spatial resolution, speed and robustness are taken into account when selecting a sensor system. Various tomographic techniques for process applications are reviewed and image-reconstruction algorithms are identified. The results of the measured tomograms show the possibilities of the presented technique.
