A Non-linear Model of Sensitivity Matrix for Electrical Capacitance Tomography
نویسندگان
چکیده
The estimation of the permittivity distribution within a given volume by Electrical Capacitive Tomography relies on a relationship between the measured signal and the permittivity distribution, known as the sensitivity matrix. We show that relative permittivity variations must be lower than 25% to obtain errors smaller than 10% with the model whereas the permittivity can be scaled by up to 3.6 for the same error range with the proposed nonmodel. The errors remain below 15% over the whole range of permittivity.

In this work we apply the simulated annealing (SA) inversion method to the reconstruction of permittivity images from electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) data. We test the SA inversion method using static physical models simulating some typical distribution patterns of two and three-component flows. The SA-based permittivity inversions have some advantages over other approaches based on lin...
