Diffusion-Steered Algorithm For Improving Quality Of Images Generated By Electrical Capacitance Tomography Measurement System, George Nyotoka, Nassor Ally, Josiah Nombo
Tanzania Journal of Science
Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) is a non-invasive, non-intrusive, radiation-free, robust, and cost-efficient measurement system that generates cross-sectional images of industrial operations by measuring differences in dielectric properties within a container. Despite its advantages, the poor quality of reconstructed images limits its applicability. Researchers have explored both non-iterative and iterative methods to address this issue, yet the resulting image quality remains insufficient for high-stakes applications where accurate decision-making is critical. This study proposes a novel algorithm that integrates the ECT model with a diffusion-steered image denoising functional, enhancing the quality of ECT reconstructed images beyond existing methods.
