Advancing ECT Imaging: Residual UNet Deep Neural Network Approach
摘要
Recently, there has been significant progress in Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) image reconstruction, yet there remains room for enhancing both speed and quality in these reconstructions. Deep Learning (DL) offers a promising avenue due to its capacity to handle intricate nonlinear functions. This study introduces DL-based ECT image reconstruction model based on Residual UNet and termed as ECT_ResUNet. A sizable dataset containing permittivity distribution and corresponding capacitance measurements was created to train and evaluate the proposed model. The ECT_ResUNet processes modulated capacitance vectors, representing them as \(66\times 66\) images. The model’s effectiveness and practicality were assessed using unseen samples, demonstrating precise image reconstruction with an average Image Error (IE) of 0.0918 and Correlation Coefficient (CC) of 0.9527.
