A Multimodal Tomography System Based on ECT Sensors 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

A new noninvasive system for multimodal electrical tomography based on electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) sensor hardware is proposed. Quasistatic electromagnetic fields are produced by ECT sensors and used for interrogating the sensing domain. The new system is noninvasive and based on capacitance measurements for permittivity and power balance measurements for conductivity (impedance) imaging. A dual sensitivity map of perturbations in permittivity and conductivity is constructed. The measured data along with the sensitivity matrix are used for the actual image reconstruction. The new multimodal tomography system has the advantage of using already established reconstruction techniques, and the potential for combination with new reconstruction techniques by taking advantage of combined conductivity/permittivity data. Moreover, it does not require direct contact between the sensor and the region of interest. The system performance has been tested on representative data, producing good results 相似文献

Electrical Capacitance Volume Tomography 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A dynamic volume imaging based on the principle of electrical capacitance tomography (ECT), namely, electrical capacitance volume tomography (ECVT), has been developed in this study. The technique generates, from the measured capacitance, a whole volumetric image of the region enclosed by the geometrically three-dimensional capacitance sensor. This development enables a real-time, 3-D imaging of a moving object or a real-time volume imaging (4-D) to be realized. Moreover, it allows total interrogation of the whole volume within the domain (vessel or conduit) of an arbitrary shape or geometry. The development of the ECVT imaging technique primarily encloses the 3-D capacitance sensor design and the volume image reconstruction technique. The electrical field variation in three-dimensional space forms a basis for volume imaging through different shapes and configurations of ECT sensor electrodes. The image reconstruction scheme is established by implementing the neural-network multicriterion optimization image reconstruction (NN-MOIRT), developed earlier by the authors for the 2-D ECT. The image reconstruction technique is modified by introducing into the algorithm a 3-D sensitivity matrix to replace the 2-D sensitivity matrix in conventional 2-D ECT, and providing additional network constraints including 3-to-2-D image matching function. The additional constraints further enhance the accuracy of the image reconstruction algorithm. The technique has been successfully verified over actual objects in the experimental conditions 相似文献

Electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) is a non-invasive imaging technology that aims at the visualisation of the cross-sectional permittivity distribution of a dielectric object based on the measured capacitance data. Successful applications of ECT depend greatly on the precision and speed of the image reconstruction algorithms. ECT image reconstruction is a typical ill-posed problem, and its solution is unstable, that is, the solution is sensitive to noises in the input data. Methods that ensure the stability of a solution while enhancing the quality of the reconstructed images should be used to obtain a meaningful reconstruction result. An image reconstruction algorithm based on the regularised total least squares (TLS) method that considers the errors in both the sensitivity field matrix and the capacitance data for ECT is presented. The regularised TLS method is extended using a combination robust estimation technique and an extended stabilising functional according to the ill-posed characteristics of ECT, which transforms the image reconstruction problem into an optimisation problem. In addition, the Newton algorithm is employed to solve the objective functional. Numerical simulations indicate that the algorithm is feasible and overcomes the numerical instability of ECT image reconstruction; for the cases of the reconstructed objects considered here, the spatial resolution of the reconstructed images obtained using the algorithm is enhanced; as a result, an efficient method for ECT image reconstruction is introduced. 相似文献

The present paper is devoted to the analysis of mechanical and electrical behaviors observed on particulate polymer granular materials. The constituting particles obtained these physical properties by coating the polymer spherical substrate with a conducting polymer: polypyrrole (PPy) which confers electrical conducting properties to the particle, while preserving its mechanical properties. Particle contacts dominate the behavior of the granular media and, consequently, size, morphology, roughness and plasticity of the particles play a crucial role in this behavior. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) were used to study the surface state and the contact area between neighbors. An experimental set up, based on the measurement of the displacement of contacting particles subjected to a normal force and of the variation of the electrical resistance of the packing, allowed the study of both the mechanical and electrical behaviors of the particle system. The experimental results took into account the plastic deformation under varying loading and unloading conditions; they were consistent with theories of contact mechanics, thus validating the existing models. 相似文献

A bioreactor landfill is designed to manage municipal solid waste, through accelerated waste biodegradation, and stabilisation of the process by means of the controlled addition of liquid, i.e. leachate recirculation. The measurement of electrical resistivity by Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) allows to monitor water content present in the bioreactors. Variations in electrical resistivity are linked to variations in moisture content and temperature. In order to overcome this ambiguity, two laboratory experiments were carried out to establish a relationship between temperature and electrical conductivity: the first set of measurements was made for leachate alone, whereas the second set was made with two different granular media saturated with leachate. Both experiments confirm a well known increase in conductivity of about 2% degrees C(-1). However, higher suspended matter concentrations lead to a lower dependence of electrical conductivity on temperature. Furthermore, for various porous media saturated with an identical leachate, the higher the specific surface of the granular matrix, the lower the effective bulk electrical conductivity. These observations show that a correct understanding of the electrical properties of liquids requires the nature and (in particular) the size of the electrical charge carriers to be taken into account. 相似文献

In this paper, the capability of ultra-wideband (UWB) sensor arrays for tomographic imaging of electrically large objects in 2-D and 3-D environments is presented. One of the main concerns when imaging extended real objects is the capability of the system to correctly reconstruct the object cross-section electric properties. An imaging method using a UWB multifrequency bifocusing (UWB-MFBF) operator with good tomographic imaging capabilities is presented, and numerical simulations are conducted to obtain the basic geometry and sampling parameters for a good-quality image reconstruction for geometrical and electrical parameters. Canonical-shape experimental reconstructions are performed to validate the established criteria. 相似文献

Application of electrical capacitance tomography to the void fraction measurement of two-phase flow 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
Zhiyao Huang Baoliang Wang Haiqing Li 《IEEE transactions on instrumentation and measurement》2003,52(1):7-12
Based on the electrical capacitance tomography technique, a new method for the void fraction measurement of two-phase flow is proposed. A 12-electrode void fraction measurement system is established. A mathematical model of image reconstruction of electrical capacitance tomography is developed. To obtain the quantitative information of two-phase flow, combining the Tikhonov regularization principle and the algebraic reconstruction technique algorithm, a new image reconstruction algorithm is presented. The experimental results show that the accuracy of void fraction measurement is satisfactory. The proposed method is suitable for the void fraction measurement of many kinds of two-phase flow. 相似文献

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a well-established technique in the medical field, typically for imaging liquid water in the human body, but it is increasingly being used in the field of engineering and materials science. A particular section of this is in the area of particulate systems and granular material flows. MRI is being used to provide a unique insight into particle distribution and motion with in situ measurements. In this paper we discuss how judicious choice and development of imaging technique applied to various different granular systems can provide us with valuable new data on the processes occurring in granular flows. Experimental results focus on rotating bed segregation, velocity imaging in vertical fluidized beds and phase-resolved velocity distributions within vertical vibro-fluidized beds. A discussion of the various imaging techniques used to acquire these data is also given. 相似文献

The complex electrical properties of isotropic, electroceramic thin films can be measured with interdigital electrodes, analyzed by impedance spectroscopy (IS). A periodic two-dimensional film/interdigital electrode (IDE) structure was simulated by finite-difference numerical method and a generalized model was developed to characterize the electrical properties of thin films. Variable frequency simulations showed that the film/IDE system can be modeled as a parallel resistor-capacitor equivalent circuit. Equations were developed to extract from the equivalent circuit's fitted resistance and capacitance, the materials properties of the thin film, both conductivity and permittivity. The electrical properties of a polydomain BaTiO3 film grown on a MgO substrate were measured with an IDE structure by IS to demonstrate how the methodology can be readily used. 相似文献

The final purpose of this study is to realise a noninvasive imaging system of temperature-change distribution in the human head. Human tissue can be generally electrically characterized using resistance and capacitance measurement. Capacitance is related to permittivity with the temperature characteristic. In our method, capacitance is measured using many small electrodes arranged on the surface of the human head. Using their values, the permittivity distribution is reconstructed, and then, the change of their images is replaced by temperature-change distribution using the permittivity-temperature characteristic. In this paper, the reconstruction of temperature-change distribution in the brain phantom by means of the capacitance measurement method has been obtained with the phantom. As a result, although improvement in the measurement system and reconstruction algorithm is needed, the pattern of temperature-change could be presented 相似文献
