Design of a new sensor to improve accuracy of ECT images

Abstract

Electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) has been successfully applied in many industrial fields. However, the resolution of ECT still needs to be improved so that it can be used in a wider scope. As a first attempt to overcome this drawback, a new design is presented as a prototype system for improving the resolution based on rotation of the sensor. y keeping the number of electrodes constant, the image quality may be enhanced by making additional measurements at different angles.
