Abstract

Sensor sensitivity field in electrical capacitance tomography is affected by the distribution of multiphase medium, which is the peculiarity of soft field. This brings great difficulty for image reconstruction. To improve the quality of image reconstruction, it is important to analyze the distribution of the sensitivity field. In this article, using the finite element method, we expound a kind of novel plotting pattern to field, which is the distribution of sensitivity field through computer simulation. From experiments and results of sensitivity field analysis, a novel method of image reconstruction based on genetic algorithms is presented. The finite element model is correct and simulation result is fine by adopting unequal interval plotting patterns. At the same time, the result of image reconstruction has high precision.
