April 17-19,2009,Tokyo,Japan

The objective of the workshop is to stimulate international cooperation for solving the emergent and specific challenges in industrial and process tomography. Following the success of the 2nd International Workshop on Process Tomography (IWPT-2) held in December 2006 at Macau, the 3rd workshop, IWPT-3, will be held in April 2009 at Tokyo. It will focus on the issues of measurement validation and calibration, which are considered to present significant technical challenges and to be major issues for future industrial application of process tomography. Another key topic at the workshop will be novel and effective methods to extract engineering information and to analyse the tomographic data with user friendly interfaces. IWPT-3 will provide an excellent opportunity for researchers working together on these specific challenges.

Papers and workshop titles on validation, calibration and data implementation methods are invited. Scientific reports and innovative industrial applications associated with these topics are strongly encouraged. Key topics are given below, but papers on related topics are welcome.

Topic A: Calibration and Validation
Calibration methods for tomographic sensors Validation of tomographic measurements A priori-knowledge and theoretical modelling Industrial applications with calibration and validation Comparison between CFD and tomography results
Topic B: Data fusion for tomographic 4-D data
Data handling methods Analytical methods Visualization platforms
Topic C: Feature extraction in component multi-flow
New methods, New topics & Novel applications
