Abstract

Electrical resistance tomography (ERT) has high temporal resolution characteristics therefore it is used as an alternative technique to visualize two-phase flows. The image reconstruction in ERT is highly non-linear and ill-posed hence it suffers from poor spatial resolution. In this paper, the inverse problem is solved with homogeneous data used as a prior information to reduce the condition number of the inverse algorithm and improve the spatial resolution. Numerical experiments have been carried out to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.
