Abstract
Most image reconstruction algorithms developed for electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) can only reconstruct qualitative images. Stabled quantitative image reconstruction is necessary for many applications. To get stable ECT image, the authors constructed a compressive operator and developed a new iterative algorithm, which can overcome the semi-convergence occurring in the Landweber iteration reconstruction technique. Experimental results showed that the stability and quality of reconstructed images are improved significantly.
