Abstract

This paper presents a multitasking electrical impedance tomography (EIT) system designed to improve the flexibility and durability of an existing EIT system. The ability of the present EIT system to detect, locate, and reshape objects was evaluated by four different experiments. The results of the study show that the system can detect and locate an object with a diameter as small as 1.5 mm in a testing tank with a diameter of 134 mm. Moreover, the results demonstrate the ability of the current system to reconstruct an image of several dielectric object shapes. Based on the results of the experiments, the programmable EIT system can adapt the EIT system for different applications without the need to implement a new EIT system, which may help to save time and cost. The setup for all the experiments consisted of a testing tank with an attached 16-electrode array made of titanium alloy grade 2. The titanium alloy electrode was used to enhance EIT system's durability and lifespan.

钛合金电极多任务电阻抗层析成像系统。

本文提出了一种多任务电阻抗断层成像(EIT)系统，旨在提高现有EIT系统的灵活性和耐用性。通过四种不同的实验来评估当前EIT系统检测、定位和重塑目标的能力。研究结果表明，该系统可以在直径为134 mm的测试槽中检测和定位直径小至1.5 mm的物体。此外，实验结果还证明了当前系统重建多种介质物体形状图像的能力。实验结果表明，该可编程EIT系统可以适应不同的应用，而不需要重新设计EIT系统，这有助于节省时间和成本。所有实验的设置都由一个测试槽组成，该测试槽附有由2级钛合金制成的16个电极阵列。采用钛合金电极，提高了EIT系统的耐用性和寿命。
