Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Tomography is becoming recognised as a powerful tool for visualising the contents of industrial processes. Design of plant can be strongly influenced by laboratory-based tests and results are beginning to emerge on production plant for determining and monitoring the state of processing. The main mechanism for facilitating progress will be the allocation of human resource to satisfy the strategic aims that are addressed at regular meetings. Some key issues for future progress include advanced processing algorithms that arise from mathematical insight; mutli-modal instruments that benefit from common standards and fuse the data from a heterogeneous collection of sensors; intrinsically safe and robust instruments that can be effective on production plant and miniaturised systems that will be invaluable to the micro-factories of the futureThis is an unprecedented opportunity to integrate the collective expertise and extensive facilities of the European industrial tomography community in order to establish tomography as a reliable and practical tool in the modern processing industry, as analogous techniques have clearly become in modern medical practice. The European activists currently enjoy a world leading reputation in the field in which the competition from elsewhere, notably North America, Japan and S.E. Asia is growing rapidly
