Abstract: A method of monitoring and controlling an industrial process includes capturing images of a non-sensible process condition of the industrial process with an image capture device, receiving the images of the non-sensible process condition with a computer system, and converting each image into a corresponding numeric value with a machine learning model stored in and operable by the computer system. The corresponding numeric value is then received and compared to a predetermined numeric value for the non-sensible process condition with a closed-loop controller, and an actuator operates with the closed-loop controller to adjust operation of the industrial process when the corresponding numeric value fails to match the predetermined numeric value or is outside of a defined threshold near the predetermined numeric value.
