Evaluation of the Electrical Capacitance Tomography System for Measurement Using 3d Sensor

Abstract

Further tests of EVT4 data acquisition system for electrical capacitance tomography are presented. The modular system, which can have up to 32 channels with an individual analogue to digital converter, was designed to ensure small uncertainty of capacitance measurement at high speed of imaging. The system’s performance in the context of 3D imaging was experimentally verified. In particular, we show that the measurement of changes in capacitance due to a small change of an electric permittivity distribution for the most distant electrodes in a suitably designed 3D sensor is possible using our system. Cross-plane measurements together with the measurements for the pairs of most distant electrodes are essential for accurate reconstruction of 3D distributions. Due to sensitivity of capacitance measurements obtained in the hardware, the measurements for all electrode pairs can be used in the inverse problem – the system of equations can be extended. Although the numerical condition number of a matrix of such a system is high, image reconstruction is possible from the data obtained in our system. The results of 3D image reconstruction for simple test objects are shown.

“…However, due to the ubiquity of the measurement method, it can also be utilised for objects with differing electrical properties. As the name suggests, the hybrid tomograph device is designed to merge two measuring methods: the EIT impedance and the ECT capacitance measurement [39][40][41]. The first versions of the hybrid tomograph built in our laboratory were based on microprocessor systems.…”

“…If, in addition, the required probability level is changed, improvements in imaging accuracy can be achieved. The image reconstruction problem in electrical impedance tomography involves taking measurements with a set of sensors and creating a reconstruction based on these measurements [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. It is worth mentioning that many methods can be used to solve optimization problems that are part of a particular system [12][13][14][15][16][17].…”
