Approximate 3-Dimensional Electrical Impedance Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss a new approach to three-dimensional electrical impedance imaging based on a reduction of the information to be demanded from a reconstruction algorithm. Images are obtained from a single measurement by suitably simplifying the geometry of the measuring chamber and by restricting the nature of the object to be imaged and the information required from the image. In particular we seek to establish the existence or non-existence of a single object (or a small number of objects) in a homogeneous background and the location of the former in the (x, y)-plane defined by the measuring electrodes . Given in addition the conductivity of the object rough estimates of its position along the z-axis may be obtained. The approach may have practical applications.

An investigation of 3-dimesional (3D) effects on electrical impedance tomography is reported. 3D effects in measurement, simulation and analytical models are described. A 3D attenuation range (75% attenuation) from the sensing plane is suggested as one third of process vessel’s diameter. The imaging trajectory of an axially moving object is found towards the central axis of a process vessel whe...
