Development and application of ECT digital system for online flow measurement

Simulation Studies on Image Reconstruction Algorithm for Portable Electrical Capacitance Tomography

“…The main problem with iterative algorithm implementation in ECT system is the time required to perform each iteration. To overcome this drawback, improvements in conditioning circuit is required such as the application of FPGA [22][23][24].…”

Image Reconstruction for Solid Profile Measurement in ERT using Non-invasive Approach

“…LBP is applied in many tomography processes, such as in ultrasonic tomography [27][28][29][30], optical tomography [31][32][33][34], electrical resistance tomography [14,19], [35,36] and electrical capacitance tomography [37][38][39][40][41]. The advantages of the LBP algorithm is its low computational complexity, and it can generate an image at high speed [25].…”

Analysis of Application of Distributed Multi-Node, Multi-GPU Heterogeneous System for Acceleration of Image Reconstruction in Electrical Capacitance Tomography

“…Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) is a relatively new imaging technique that can be used for noninvasive visualization in industrial applications in 2D [5,24,25], 3D [16,22] and even 4D dynamic mode [1,19]. Among other non-invasive imaging techniques, ECT is characterized by much higher temporal resolution than Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Computed Tomography etc.…”

“…This makes it a good solution for real-time imaging technique which is capable of long term monitoring on fast-6 M. Majchrowicz, P. Kapusta, L. Jackowska-Strumiłło, D. Sankowski varying industrial process applications. This is especially true in 2D mode, when coupled with fast, FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) based systems, which can achieve reconstruction speeds of up to 1400 frames per second [5,24]. However, such solutions have one shortcoming and that is a relatively low quality of the reconstructed images.…”
