Abstract

Electrical resistance tomography (ERT) is an imaging technique where the internal resistivity distribution inside an object is reconstructed. The ERT image reconstruction is a highly nonlinear ill-posed problem, so regularization methods are used to achieve desired image. The reconstruction outcome is dependent on the type of regularization method employed such as l2-norm, l1-norm, and total variation regularization method. That is, use of an appropriate regularization method considering the flow characteristics is necessary to attain good reconstruction performance. Therefore, in this paper, regularization methods are tested through numerical simulations with different flow conditions and the performance is compared.

전기 저항 단층촬영법(ERT)은 대상체 내부 단면의 저항률 분포를 추정하고 이를 영상화하는 기술이다. ERT의 영상복원은 매우 비정치성이 강한 역문제의 일종으로 의미있는 영상을 얻기 위해서는 조정기법이 사용된다. 대표적으로 l2-norm 조정기법, l1-norm 조정기법, Total Variation 조정기법이 사용되며, 조정기법에 따라 ERT의 영상복원 성능이 달라진다. 즉, 상황에 맞는 적절한 조정기법의 사용은 ERT 영상 복원을 개선할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 모의실험을 통하여 상황에 따른 세 가지 조정기법의 영상복원 성능을 비교하였다.
