Reconstruction of inhomogeneities in fluids by means of capacitance tomography

Abstract

Electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) is a technique for reconstructing information about the spatial distribution of the contents of closed pipes by measuring variations in the dielectric properties of the material inside the pipe. In this paper, we propose a method that solves the non‐linear reconstruction problem directly leading to less iterations and higher accuracy than linear back projection algorithms currently in use in most ECT systems.
