Boundary Data Analysis of Continuous Wave Domain Diffuse Optical Tomography with Structured Refined Mesh Algorithm for Product Quality Control

Abstract

Diffuse optical tomography is promising technology for non destructive evaluation on product quality control. In order to improve the forward sensitivity, structured refine mesh method was applied on continuous wave domain diffuse optical tomography imaging. This study was conducted on numerical and phantom object. These objects were illuminated by the near infrared source from object’s boundary. To obtain the boundary parameter data, a set of near infrared detector were placed on the periphery of the object. To validate our proposed forward analysis method, boundary parameter data of simulation are shown in comparison with that of experiment. In this study, we vary the position and the value of optical coefficient of defect on the object then we analyze the forward problem sensitivity. The result of this study indicated that continuous wave domain-diffuse optical tomography is promising for product quality control.
