Features
  • Explores the application of basic and advanced chromatic methods in assorted areas, including nonintrusive behavior monitoring, high-voltage transformer gases, acoustical signals in mechanical systems, electrical plasmas, environmental monitoring, noninvasive biological tissue probing, and liquids used in industrial plants
  • Illustrates how to address emerging phenomena using chromatic monitoring
  • Balances the use of diagrams and mathematical descriptions, encouraging full comprehension of the material
  • Includes summaries at the end of each chapter to enable quick access to main points
  • Contains nearly 30 full-color figures, along with examples of graphical polar plots, such as process life cycles that have centers of gravity

  • Summary
    Explaining the chromatic methodology for the intelligent monitoring of complex systems, Chromatic Monitoring of Complex Conditions demonstrates that chromatic processing is analogous to human vision yet also extends into a wide range of nonoptical domains.

    Taking a practical approach that utilizes many examples and graphs, the book presents the origin and methodology of chromaticity, before delving into the various applications of chromatic methods. It first describes characteristics of chromatic systems and chromatic processing algorithms, such as H, S, V transformation and basic x, y, z algorithms. The book then discusses the areas in which chromatic monitoring can be deployed, including electrical plasmas, industrial liquids, broadband interferometry and polarimetry, biological tissues and fluids, the environment, and acoustical and vibration signals.

    With contributions from international authorities in the field, this volume shows how chromatic analysis is useful for investigating diverse complex systems and for processing large amounts of information about system behavior, from direct physical parameters to holistic system overviews. By covering the broad capabilities of the methodology, it provides the basis for adapting chromatic techniques in future work.
