The current SlicerProcesses code isn’t set up for progress reporting. There could be lots of ways to do it, Slicer CLI modules use a convention of embedding xml snippets in the output that triggers automatic progress updates in the GUI. Another option would be to set up a connection like OpenIGTLink to pass data. Or one could create a custom network protocol.
