Abstract

Electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) is a so-called `soft-field' tomography technique. The linear back-projection (LBP) method is used widely for image reconstruction in ECT systems. It is numerically simple and computationally fast because it involves only a single matrix-vector multiplication. However, the images produced by the LBP algorithm are generally qualitative rather than quantitative. This paper presents an image-reconstruction algorithm based on a modified Landweber iteration method that can greatly enhance the quality of the image when two distinct phases are present. In this algorithm a simple constraint is used as a regularization for computing a stabilized solution, with a better immunity to noise and faster convergence. Experimental results are presented.
