Rotary sensor system for imaging improvement in electrical capacitance volume tomography

The research proposes a design of 12-channel rotary sensor for electrical capacitance volume tomography (ECVT) toward improvement in image reconstruction result. Sensor was assembled by attaching motors at upper section to rotate in radial; also at side to move up and down. Effects of rotating and translating the sensor has been analyzed in comparison to conventional sensory system. Correlation coefficient (CC) method and linear back-projection (LBP) were used to observe the performance on rotation-translation. Experiments show a difference between rotation with CC of 0.76 and conventional with CC of 0.64. In other words, image quality is improved by 17%.
