Visual process monitoring would provide more directly appreciable and more easily comprehensible information about the process operating status as well as clear depictions of the occurrence path of faults; however, as a more challenging task, it has been sporadically discussed in the research literature on conventional process monitoring. In this paper, the Data-Dependent Kernel Discriminant Analysis (D2K-DA) model is proposed. A special data-dependent kernel function is constructed and learned from the measured data, so that the low-dimensional visualizations are guaranteed, combined with intraclass compactness, interclass separability, local geometry preservation, and global geometry preservation. The new optimization is innovatively designed by exploiting both discriminative information and t-distributed geometric similarities. On the construction of novel indexes for visualization, experiments of visual monitoring tasks on simulated and real-life industrial processes illustrate the merits of the proposed method. © 2023 The Authors.
