Flotation froth monitoring using multiresolutional multivariate image analysis

A novel image analysis solution based on multiresolutional multivariate image analysis (MR-MIA) is proposed for the monitoring and control of flotation processes. The approach is quite different from the contemporary image analysis approaches in the sense that it can handle spatial (i.e., morphological) and color information of froth images efficiently, and is inherently robust to image quality and lighting conditions.MR-MIA is applied to RGB …
