Abstract
Capacitively coupled electrical resistance tomography (CCERT) is an innovative technique for electrical resistance tomography based on capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C4D). Despite its potential, there are only a few studies on image reconstruction algorithms for CCERT. To address this, a CCERT measurement system is developed, and the compressed sensing (CS) theory is applied to the inverse problem imaging of CCERT to improve the image reconstruction quality and speed. Firstly, a mathematical CCERT image reconstruction model is constructed under CS theory and three algorithms under CS theory are employed to solve the convex optimization problem of the reconstruction model. Then a thresholding operation is applied to obtain the post-processed image and compared it with the classical linear back projection and Landweber algorithms. The simulation results demonstrate that the Barzilai–Borwein gradient projection for sparse reconstruction (GPSR-BB) algorithm yields more satisfactory imaging results than the other four algorithms. Additionally, three sensitivity matrix optimization methods for GPSR-BB algorithm are compared and find that the new method of screening the rows of the sensitivity matrix to zero is more effective than the other two common optimization methods in terms of reconstructed image quality. Finally, the static experiments of void fraction measurement are conducted using the developed CCERT system. The results indicated that the absolute error of void fraction measurement by GPSR-BB algorithm was less than 6.59% in the range of void fraction from 0.90% to 66.29%.
