Abstract:

An introduction to sensors for imaging and Hard-Field Tomography and the challenges set by the requirement for applications in industry. Particular emphasis is given to original work on fully digital fast multiprocessor tomography systems for signal and data processing, novel algorithms for imaging by inversion of limited data, new measurement modalities for imaging of temperature and strain fields, etc. Chemically specific imaging is examined in applications such as fuel imaging for internal combustion engine research and other applications.
