This book provides a systematic and application-oriented guide to understanding how multimodal industrial data can be transformed into reliable process perception and intelligent operational decisions. Drawing on more than a decade of research and engineering experience, it focuses on salt lake chemical processes as a representative complex industrial system and addresses five key topics: recovery of incomplete process data, visual-based concentrate grade estimation, acoustic-based concentrate yield estimation, multimodal working condition recognition, and intelligent operational optimization under multiple working conditions. The book integrates data-driven modeling, multimodal information fusion, machine learning, and intelligent decision-making methods, with particular emphasis on their practical use in challenging industrial environments. A rich collection of process flowcharts, network architectures, comparative experiments, tables, and visualization results helps readers understand both methodological principles and engineering implementation. By connecting data quality, intelligent perception, state recognition, and operational optimization within a unified framework, the book offers a valuable reference for researchers, engineers, practitioners, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates working in industrial artificial intelligence, process systems engineering, automation, and intelligent manufacturing.
