Abstract

Newton-Raphson is most used algorithm in EIT(electrical impedance tomography), cross-sectional distribution of resistivity is reconstructed by mean of both generating and sensing electrodes attached onto the surface of the object. EIT has been suffered from the severe ill-posedness which is caused by the inherent low sensitivity of boundary measurements to any changes of internal resistivity values. In this paper, we propose modified cost function and weighting factor that compensate for low sensitivity between boundary measurements and internal resistivity and improve performance of Newton-Raphson for EIT in region of interest.
