The aim of process mining is to analyze event logs extracted through process monitoring and to compare them with an 'a priori' process model.
Process mining allows process analysts to detect discrepancies between the actual process execution and the a priori model as well as to analyze bottlenecks.

 Identifying image structures for content-based retrieval of digitized spine x-rays
The end result is, for each pair of spinous processes, a single point lying on the user-defined line, which is a local minimum for the region between the pair of spinous processes.
Again, this separation is illustrated by spinous process 5 in Figure 5: profile 2 is seen to separate the local minimum within the body of spinous process 5, from the local minima that border spinous process 5.
The cases where spinous process 6 were missed were all cases where the shoulder-side boundary of this structure is only weakly visible in the image, resulting in a very small local minimum on the profile 1 curve; the detection of this miminmum is below the sensitivity of the current implementation.
