Abstract

Technologies are generally described for determination and analysis of an optical profile of a liquid-based material to implement real-time monitoring of a composition of the liquid-based material for quality control. An imaging sub-system may include a plurality of illumination sources configured to illuminate the liquid-based material with light, and one or more detectors. The detectors may be configured to detect light reflected from a first surface of the liquid-based material, light reflected from a second surface of the liquid-based material, and/or light transmitted through the first surface and the second surface of the liquid-based material in response to the illumination. An analytics sub-system coupled to the imaging sub-system may be configured to analyze the detected light to determine an optical profile of the liquid-based material, and monitor the optical profile in real-time to detect changes in the optical profile indicative of corresponding changes to a composition of the liquid-based material.
